Finding the Best Deal

Question 9 • Discover Your Future

You need 125 napkins for your restaurant. Your current supplier has a $25 delivery fee in addition to the $2.50 charge per napkin. You have found a different supplier that has a $40 delivery fee but only charges $2.25 per napkin. How much can you save per napkin by changing suppliers?

Answer
A
$2.70
B
$2.57
C
$0.25
D
$0.13
E
$0.10

Explanation

The current supplier costs 125 × $2.50 + $25 = $337.50, or $2.70 per napkin. The new supplier costs 125 × $2.25 + $40 = $321.25, or $2.57 per napkin. The savings are $2.70 − $2.57 = $0.13 per napkin, so the answer is D, $0.13.
