Question 3 • 25-26 CRX Math Models with Applications 7052A

Colin wants to set up an aquarium.. He already has a tank, but needs to purchase fish, filters, and plants. If the cost of the fish is $84.79, the filters usually cost $60.45 but Colin finds them on sale for $44.75, and the cost of the plants is $18.66, determine how much of Colin’s $488.85 savings will be used to set up his aquarium.

Answer
A
$289.81
B
$163.90
C
$340.65
D
$148.20

Explanation

Use the sale price for the filters, since that is what Colin will pay. Add the costs: $84.79 + $44.75 + $18.66 = $148.20. Therefore, $148.20 of Colin’s savings will be used to set up the aquarium, which is choice D.
