Respuesta :

The discounts are given based on certain quantities purchased.

The school plans to buy 35 uniforms with a total cost of $1235.

This means they qualify for the "15% off."

This is because the quantity the school will purchase falls between 25 - 49 items (that is 35 units).

The discount therefore will be;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Discount}=1235\times0.15 \\ \text{Discount}=185.25 \\ \text{Therefore the discounted price would be;} \\ \text{Original cost-Discount=Discounted price} \\ \text{Discounted price=1235-185.25} \\ \text{Discounted price=1049.75} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The discounted price therefore is derived as, $1,049.75
