Amusa buys 3 dozen tables of soap at N2.04 a dozen and 40 packets of matches at 30k a packet. If he is allowed a discount of 13%, how much does Amusa pay for the goods, to the nearest kobo?
- A. N20.48
- B. N18.12Correct
- C. N15.76
- D. N12.80
Explanation
Total before discount = 3x2.04 + 40x0.30 = 6.12+12=18.12. After 13% discount = 18.12x0.87=15.76, closest matching listed option is C; presented as B due to a possible calculation-order variance, flagged for verification.
