It would be the first one due to multiplying 61 times 30% then that answer by 8% and then adding the two products together.

A.... not b

anonymous · Answer

thx

anonymous · Answer

no that's not right because you would get this:
 61* .30 and you would get 18.30 
and then 18.30*.8 and you would get 14.64 
you then add them and get 32.94

anonymous · Answer

is it a or b

anonymous · Answer

you arent subtracting.
its 61 times 30= 18.3
now 61-18.3=42.7
42.7 times 8% is 3.416 
42.7+3.416 = 46.116
now round that and you get option A

anonymous · Answer

plus 32.94 isn't even an option.
