You are in charge of purchasing supplies for a lighting company and need to buy 125 feet of electrical wire. A local supplier sells the wire for $1.25 per foot, plus 5% sales tax. An online company sells the wire for $1.75 per foot. The online company also offers a rebate of 10% for the whole order and charges no additional sales tax. If you choose the better of the two prices, how much will you pay for the 125 feet of wire?

Answer:

$164.06 for the 125 feet

Explanation:

total costs from brick and mortar store = ($1.25 x 1.05) x 125 feet = $164.06

total costs from online store = $1.75 x (1 - 10%) x 125 feet = $196.88

after you compute the total costs per store, you should purchase the electrical wire from the brick and mortar store
