An office supply company ordered 24 cartons of specialty paper. The regular price for a carton of specialty paper is $6.88. They received a discount of $1.75 off each carton. About how much money will the office supply company need to pay for the paper? Which of the expressions gives a reasonable estimate of the answer?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the regular price for the specialty paper is

$6.88 per carton

and the company receives a discount of $1.75 per carton

this means that the company will pay  $6.88-$1.75 = $5.13 per carton

To calculate the cost of the supply for 24 cartons we have

24*5.13= $123.12

the cost of the supply is $123.12

alternatively we can also calculate the percentage discount as

Actual cost of 24 cartons= 24*6.88= $165.12

Discount= $6.88-$1.75 = $5.13 per carton

%discount= 1.75/6.88= 0.2543

= 25.43%

The price after discount is

=$165.12*(1-0.2543)

=$165.12*0.7456

= $123.12
