Answer:

answer A. twaila paid the correct amount for her purchase

Twila has paid the correct amount for her purchase. Calculation of total amount is provided below

Find the Total Amount

Total Amount = [tex]Purchase value + Tax - Discount[/tex]

What information do we have

Price of one relish tray = $18.95

Price of one cheese & cracker tray = $23.99

Price of one cookie tray = $25.49

So,

Purchase Value = Price of 1 relish tray + 1 cheese & cracker tray + 2 cookie trays

[tex]18.95 + 23.99 + 25.49 + 25.49[/tex]

= [tex]93.92[/tex]

Tax = 8% of value

= [tex]8[/tex] % of [tex]93.92[/tex] = [tex]7.5136[/tex]

Discount = $ [tex]5[/tex]

Putting values in formula,

Total Amount = [tex]93.92 + 7.5136 - 5[/tex]

It is equal to 96.43

Hence, Total Amount paid by Twila is Correct
