The final cost of chocolate syrup is .

• A. $15,835
• B. $65,407
• C. $72,365

Answer 1

The correct option is B $65,407

Cost of chocolate syrup = $\$75,815$
Discount provided = $\$10,408$

To find out the final cost of chocolate syrup, we will subtract $\$10,408$ from $\$75,815$.

Let us fill the numbers in the place value chart first.


We cannot subtract bigger numbers from smaller numbers.

So, we regroup $5$ at ones places to $15$ using the next digit 1 at the tens place.

$15$ - $8$ = $7$

Doing this process for the subsequent digits, we get:


∴ $75815-10408=65407$

Hence, the final cost of chocolate syrup is $\$65,407$
