• b. $4,380.51

c. $4,419.49
d. $5,619.51

Explanation:

Question 1

Step1: Calculate discount amount

Discount = 20% of $75 = $0.20 \times 75 = $15

Step2: Subtract discount from original price

Final price = $75 - $15 = $60

Step1: Multiply budget by fraction

Amount spent = $\frac{2}{5} \times 300$

Step2: Calculate the product

$\frac{2}{5} \times 300 = 2 \times 60 = 120$

Step1: Sum up the costs

Total cost = $45.99 + $549.00 + $24.50 = $619.49

Step2: Subtract total cost from credit limit

Remaining amount = $5000 - $619.49 = $4380.51

Answer:

D. $60
