You need to buy 30 pounds of hamburger and 15 packages of buns for a staff-appreciation picnic. you have 2 options for hamburger and 2 options for buns, shown below. in addition, you have a 10%-off coupon that can be used on either the hamburger or the buns, but not both, after any other discounts are applied. what is your best cost, including tax of 5% of the purchase price after all discounts, rounded to the nearest $0.01?

We have to determine the best cost after all discounts and tax.

Hamburger:

1 pound of Open Acres = $2.39

30 pounds of Open Acres =

10% off is provided if we buy at least 10 pounds of Open Acres, we bought 30 pounds. So, we get 10% off.

10% off on 30 pounds of Open Acres Hamburgers = 10% of $71.7

=

Total cost of 30 pounds of Open Acres Hamburgers = $71.7 - $7.17

=$64.53

Buns:

1 packet of Burly buns = $1.93

15 packets of Burly buns =

=$28.95

5% off on 15 packets of Burly buns = 5% of $28.95

=

Total cost of 15 packets of Burly buns = $28.95 - $1.4475

=$27.50

Now, according to the question, a 10%-off coupon that can be used on either the hamburger or the buns, but not both, after any other discounts are applied.

Let us apply 10% off applied on Hamburgers:

10% of $64.53

=

Now, total cost of hamburgers after all the discounts = $64.53-$6.453

= $58.077

And total cost of Buns after all the discounts = $27.50

Total price of hamburgers and buns = $58.077 + $27.50

= $85.577

5% tax applied on total price of hamburgers and buns = 5% of $85.577

= $4.28

Best cost on the purchase of hamburgers and buns = $85.577 + $4.28

= $89.857

Rounding to the nearest hundredth dollar, we get

Best cost on purchase of 30 pounds of hamburgers and 15 packets of buns after all discounts and tax = $89.86
