Question : 1

Total: 40

Two brands of air conditioners S and T cost GH₵ 3,000.00 and GH₵ 4,000.00 respectively. A company budgeted GH₵

20,000.00 to buy air conditioners. If the company bought 5 units of brand S instead of brand T, how much did it save?

GH₵ 1,000.00
GH₵ 5,000.00
GH₵ 20,000.00
GH₵ 15,000.00

Solution:

Concept:

Savings equals the difference between the total cost of 5 units of brand T and 5 units of brand S.

Explanation:

Cost of 5 units of brand S

= 5 \times \text{GH₵}\,3000 = \text{GH₵}\,15000

.

Cost of 5 units of brand T

= 5 \times \text{GH₵}\,4000 = \text{GH₵}\,20000

.

Amount saved

= \text{GH₵}\,20000 - \text{GH₵}\,15000

.

Amount saved

= \text{GH₵}\,5000

.

Answer:

The company saved GH₵ 5,000.00, so option B is correct.
