Chris is trying to sell his car for $5200 and has gotten two price offers. One buyer offered to pay the full price if Chris would pay for the car maintenance inspection, which cost a tenth of Chris’s asking price. The other buyer agreed to pay the price if Chris replaced the headlights for $80 and the tires for three times as much. What is the difference between the amounts Chris will earn from the two offers?
How much would Chris earn from the first buyer? ** Chris would earn 5200 - 5200 / 10 = 5200 - 520 = $<<5200-5200/10=4680>>4680 from the first buyer.
How much would Chris earn from the second buyer? ** He would earn 5200 - 80 - 80 * 3 = 5200 - 80 * 4 = 5200 - 320 = $<<5200-80-80*3=4880>>4880 from the second buyer.
What is the difference between the amounts Chris will earn from the two offers? ** The difference between Chris’s earnings would be 4880 - 4680 = $<<4880-4680=200>>200.
