Ellen can purchase a certain computer at a local store at the price of p dollars and pay a 6 percent sales tax. Alternatively, Ellen can purchase the same computer from a catalog for a total of q dollars, including all taxes and shipping costs. Will it cost more for Ellen to purchase the computer from the local store than from the catalog?

(1) q - p < 50
(2) q = 1,150

We have to find the difference between \(1.06p\) and \(1150\).

So, even if you take \(p=1100\), you will get \(1.06p = 1166\) which is greater than \(1150\).

Hence, \(1.06p\) will always be greater than \(q\).

Therefore, __C__.
