Answer provided by our tutors

From January to June a company spent 60.00 a month of office supplies or a total of: 6*60.00 = $360.00


in July the supplies increased by 15 percent: 60 + 0.15*60 = 60*1.15 = $69.00


From July till December the company spent: 6*69 = $414.00


or altogether for the whole year:


$360.00 + $414.00 = $774.00


the company spent $774.00 on office supplies for the year.
