From January to June a company spent $60.00 a month on office supplies. In July the price of supplies increase by 15% and remained the same the rest of the year. How much did the company spend on supplies for the year

Answer provided by our tutors

From January to June there are 6 months this in 6 months they have spent 6*60 = $360 on office supplies


From July till December there are 6 months and the new price is 1.15*60 = $69 or the total for the last 6 months is 6*69 = $414


the total money spent for the year is 360 + 414 = $774.
