Problema Solution
From January to June, a company spent $60.00 per month on office supplies. In July, the price of office supplies increased by 15% and remained the same for the rest of the year. How much did the company spend on office supplies for the year?
Answer provided by our tutors
The amount of money spent for the first 6 month (January to June): 6*60
The amount of money spent for the last 6 months (July to December) = 6*1.15*60
Altogether:
6*60 + 6*1.15*60 = $774
The company spent total of $774 on office supplies for the year.
