Worked Solution

Step 1: Find the monthly cost of the second subject (violin) after the 25% discount. 25% of $120 = $30 Violin monthly fee = $120 - $30 = $90 Step 2: Find the 6-month cost of each subject. Piano (full price): $120 x 6 = $720 Violin (discounted): $90 x 6 = $540 Step 3: Add both subjects to find the subtotal. $720 + $540 = $1 260 Step 4: Apply the upfront rebate. $1 260 - $60 = $1 200 Aisha pays $1 200 in total.

Correct answer: $1 200
