If the bulbs cost $0.25 and you get 20% off if you purchase 50 or more of the same color, how much does Angela need to spend?
To find out how much Angela needs to spend, we need to consider the discount she will get for purchasing 50 or more bulbs of the same color. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Determine the regular price per bulb: The bulbs cost $0.25 each.
2. Calculate the discount: Angela will get a 20% discount if she purchases 50 or more bulbs of the same color.
3. Find out how many bulbs Angela wants to buy: You haven't mentioned how many bulbs Angela wants to purchase, so we'll need that information to proceed.
Once we have the number of bulbs Angela wants to buy, we can calculate the final amount she needs to spend by applying the discount.
Let's say Angela wants to purchase x bulbs:
4. Calculate the regular price without the discount: The regular price of one bulb is $0.25. So, the regular price for x bulbs would be $0.25 * x.
5. Determine if Angela is eligible for the discount: If she wants to purchase 50 or more bulbs of the same color, we need to check if x ≥ 50.
6. Apply the discount: If Angela is eligible for the discount (x ≥ 50), she will get a 20% discount off the regular price. This means she will pay 80% of the regular price. Therefore, the price after the discount would be 0.8 * ($0.25 * x).
So, the final amount Angela needs to spend would depend on the number of bulbs she wants to purchase (x) and whether she is eligible for the discount (x ≥ 50).
