Paul has decided to set up his own recording studio. He needs to purchase four speakers at $435 apiece and two mixers at $772 apiece. He also needs to soundproof a room, which will cost him $838.


If Paul has $4,500 in his savings account, how close can he come to setting up his studio?

APaul can set up his studio and have $378 left over.
BPaul can set up his studio and have $410 left over.
CPaul needs an additional $1,166 to set up his studio.
DPaul needs an additional $296 to set up his studio.

Verified Answer :

Okay. So for the four speakers, you need to multiply 435 by 4. That gets you 1740.

For the two mixers, you need to multiply 772 by 2. That gets you 1544.


Add those two together, plus the 838 for the soundproofing, to get your final total cost. $4,122. It is less than 4,500, so subtract.
