Margaret wants to order a new cell phone case. She's found the one she wants on four different websites. The prices and shipping and handling fees are all a little different. Because some of the fees are taxable and others are not, it's hard to know which is the best deal. Which of the following sites will sell Margaret the cell phone case for the lowest total price?

A.
Cell phone case is $10. Shipping and handling is $3 and is taxable. Tax is 5%.

B.
Cell phone case is $9. Shipping and handling is $3.50 and is taxable. Tax is 10%.

C.
Cell phone case is $10. Shipping and handling is $3 and is not taxable. Tax is 5%.

D.
Cell phone case is $11. Shipping and handling is $2.50 and is not taxable. Tax is 10%.
To compare the total price, we need to calculate the tax and add it to the shipping and handling fee for each website.
For website A:
Price: $10
Tax: $3 * 5% = $0.15
Total price: $10 + $3 + $0.15 = $13.15
For website B:
Price: $9
Tax: $3.50 * 10% = $0.35
Total price: $9 + $3.50 + $0.35 = $12.85
For website C:
Price: $10
Tax: $0
Total price: $10 + $3 + $0 = $13
For website D:
Price: $11
Tax: $0
Total price: $11 + $2.50 + $0 = $13.50
Based on these calculations, the website with the lowest total price is website B, with a total price of $12.85.
To determine which website will sell Margaret the cell phone case for the lowest total price, we need to calculate the total cost including both the cost of the cell phone case and the shipping and handling fees.
Let's break down the information provided for each website:
A. Cell phone case is $10. Shipping and handling is $3 and is taxable. Tax is 5%.
To calculate the total cost, we need to add the cost of the cell phone case, the shipping and handling fee, and the tax:
Total cost = ($10 + $3) + ($3 * 0.05) = $13 + $0.15 = $13.15
B. Cell phone case is $9. Shipping and handling is $3.50 and is taxable. Tax is 10%.
Total cost = ($9 + $3.50) + (($9 + $3.50) * 0.10) = $12.50 + $1.25 = $13.75
C. Cell phone case is $10. Shipping and handling is $3 and is not taxable. Tax is 5%.
Total cost = ($10 + $3) + ($3 * 0) = $13 + $0 = $13
D. Cell phone case is $11. Shipping and handling is $2.50 and is not taxable. Tax is 10%.
Total cost = ($11 + $2.50) + ($2.50 * 0) = $13.50 + $0 = $13.50
Comparing the total costs of each website, we can see that the lowest total price for the cell phone case is offered by Website C, with a total cost of $13. This means that Margaret should choose to order from Website C to get the lowest price for the cell phone case.
To determine which website will sell Margaret the cell phone case for the lowest total price, we need to calculate the total cost for each website.
A. The cost of the cell phone case is $10. The shipping and handling fee is $3, and it is taxable at 5%. To calculate the taxable amount, multiply the shipping and handling fee by the tax rate: $3 * 0.05 = $0.15.
The total cost on this website would be $10 + $3 + $0.15 = $13.15.
B. The cost of the cell phone case is $9. The shipping and handling fee is $3.50 and is taxable at 10%. The taxable amount is $3.50 * 0.10 = $0.35.
The total cost on this website would be $9 + $3.50 + $0.35 = $12.85.
C. The cost of the cell phone case is $10. The shipping and handling fee is $3 and is not taxable.
The total cost on this website would be $10 + $3 = $13.
