Question

Suppose your police department is planning the purchase of 70 new laptops for its patrol cars.

Research and find a particular selling price for any style of laptop.
Suppose that the laptops are marked down 3% off the total price. Calculate how much the department will save with the 3% savings.
What might be reasons that the laptop provider would give the police department a markdown on the purchase of those laptops? Explain clearly.

Answer 1

If you do answer my question please explain i need to have each step

Answer 2

it would save .3(price)(70 laptops)
because 1) they buy in bulk
2) it's a public department, just as a donation

Answer 8

480

Answer 9

ok, 480 * 30% = savings

480/100 = 1%; 3 of those 1% is 3%

3*480/100 = savings

Answer 10

14.4 is an exact number, but for money we like to see it in 2 deci spots; 14.40

70 * 14.40
