To answer this question, we need to write the given information:
1. She bought 8 reams of paper. The cost is $3.29 per ream.
2. She bought 4 printer cartridges. The cost is $22.95 each.
3. To total for the order including tax and shipping is $132.62.
Then, we need to calculate the total cost for the reams of paper and 4 printer cartridges:
The total cost of 8 the reams of paper:
[tex]8\cdot3.29=26.32[/tex]
The total cost of 4 printer cartridges:
[tex]4\cdot22.95=91.8[/tex]
The total cost for these two articles is:
[tex]T_{\text{twoarticles}}=26.32+91.8=118.12[/tex]
The total order, including tax and shipping, is $132.62. Then, we have that the cost of tax and shipping is:
[tex]132.62-118.12=14.5[/tex]
After doing these calculations, we can evaluate the given statements:
A) The amount spent on paper is $19.74. It is FALSE. It was spent $26.32.
B) The amount spent on cartridges is $91.80. It is TRUE.
C) The amount for tax and shipping is $12.50. It is FALSE. It was spent $14.5.
D) The amount for tax and shipping is $14.50. It is TRUE.
E) The amount for supplies, without tax and shipping charges, is $118.12. It is TRUE. We obtained the amount of $118.12 for the cost of the two articles, namely, the 8 reams of paper and 4 printer cartridges.
Therefore, we have that the statements that are TRUE are:
• B) The amount spent on cartridges is $91.80., It is TRUE.
,
• D) The amount for tax and shipping is $14.50., It is TRUE.
,
• E) The amount for supplies, without tax and shipping charges, is $118.12., It is TRUE.
