Suppose the cover price of a book is $24.95, but bookstores get a 40% discount. Shipping costs $3 for the first copy and 75 cents for each additional copy. What is the total wholesale cost for 60 copies?

Answer:

$ 945.45

Explanation:

The price of the book = $ 24.95

40% discount for bookstore = $ 24.95 × 0.4 = $ 9.98

new price = $ 24.95 - $ 9.98 = $ 14.97

total cost of book = 60 × $ 14.97  = $ 898.2

first copy shipping costs = $ 3

additional copies at 75 cents = 59 × 75 = $ 44.25

total shipping cost = $ 3 +  $ 44.25  = $ 47.25

total wholesale cost = $ 898.2 + $ 47.25  = $ 945.45
