Question 25 • Financial Math

Blake decides to invest in stocks and bonds. He buys 60 shares of a stock priced at $⁢90 per share and $⁢7,000 worth of bonds. The brokerage charges a 2% commission fee on the stock purchase and a 2% fee on the bond purchase. What is the total fee Blake must pay?

Answer
A
108 dollars
B
248 dollars
C
140 dollars
D
60 dollars

Explanation

The stock costs 60 × $90 = $5,400, so its 2% commission is $5,400 × 0.02 = $108. The 2% fee on $7,000 of bonds is $7,000 × 0.02 = $140. Adding the fees gives $108 + $140 = $248, so the total fee is 248 dollars.
