Question

Explain if the company identified in Part B is or is not the least expensive company for Felicia to choose if she is purchasing 100 square yards of carpet. If not, determine which company she should choose and justify your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Company B is the least expensive, since it's cost of $205 is less than the one for Company A, which is $235

Explanation:

Given that Felicia is purchasing a 100 square yards of carpet, suppose she is choosing Company A, the cost would be as follows:

c = 1.35(100) + 100

= 235

Suppose she is choosing Company B, the cost would be as follows:

c = 2.05 * 100

= 205

This shows that Company B is the least expensive, since it's cost of $205 is less than the one for Company A, which is $235
