Respuesta :

I'll solve this problem using proportions

1950 x 25 = $48750

Original price = $48750

Considering the 5% discount

48750 ------------------- 100

x ------------------- 5

x = (5 x 48750)/100

x = 2437.5

Price = 48750 - 2437.5

= 46312.5

46312.5 ------------------- 100

x ------------------ 24

x = (24 x 46312.5) / 100

x = 1111500/100

x = 11115

Final price = 46312.5 - 11115

= $ 35197.5

The second choice is the correct solution.
