    Hi,

    The answer is A) but I could not figure out why.. (maybe did not understand the question) Can anyone help?

    Company X Company Y

    Prince $75 $530

    Surcharge as a
    Percent of Price 4% 3%

    Installation
    Charge $82.50 $93.00



    The table above shows the various charges made by two companies for the same air conditioner. What is the total amount that can be saved on the purchase and installation of the air conditioner by dealing with the company that offers the lower total charge?
    (A) $41.60
    (B) $45.00
    (C) $50.75
    (D) $55.75
    (E) $61.25
