You open a restaurant with two other people. While the business is launching, you agree to divide all costs equally. You need to purchase a commercial stove. One store sells the stove for $2,499, including tax, plus a $291 delivery fee. A second store sells the same stove for $2,628, including tax, plus a $138 delivery fee. You choose to purchase the stove from the store that offers the better deal.
The first store’s total is $2,499 + $291 = $2,790. The second store’s total is $2,628 + $138 = $2,766, so it is the better deal. Dividing $2,766 equally among three people gives $922 per person, which is choice B.
