Wearable arts materials



Some resources needed to be purchased for making wearable arts. Mrs McDonald wanted to give each class approximately 100 glue sticks each. She needed to decide what would be the best value for money when buying hot glue sticks. She could buy 5kg (260 sticks) for $112.17 plus GST, 1kg (52 sticks) for $24.69 plus GST or 10 glue sticks for $5.99 plus GST. She also wanted to give each class 5 rolls of masking tape. The cost of a roll of tape was $3.50 plus GST. Each class also required 400ml of spray paint in each of the colours silver, gold, black, red and blue. She could buy a 250ml of silver or gold paint for $8.25 plus GST and a 400ml can of black, red or blue paint for 14.95 plus GST. Work out an order for the Kauri syndicate based on what is needed and what is the best value for money and calculate how much the total order will cost.

  2. 1x5KG Glue sticks = $129.57 including $16.90 (Gst). for 2 =$259.14 (520 glue sticks)
    25 rolls of Masking Tape=$3.50+$0.53=$4.03 (0.53 GST) $4.03x 25=$100.75(25 rolls of masking tape).
    2 gold 2 silver spray paint per class=$8.25+1.24(GST)=$9.49each. $9.49x20=189.80 (2 gold 2 silver per class)
    1 Red, 1 Blue and 1 Black spray paint per class=$14.95+$2.24(GST)=$17.19each. $17.19x15=$257.85

    total, $259.14+$100.75+$189.80+$257.85=$807.54 ANSWER $807.54.
