Answer: He will pay $880 for the computer and $3600 for the software.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Computer price: $1,100 Computer discount: 20%: 0.20 (in decimal form, 20/100 = 0.20) Software license price = $6,000 Software discount: 40: 0.40 (decimal form)

So, first we have to multiply the percentage discounts by the original prices to obtain the discount amount:

Computer: 1,100 x 0.20 = 220

Software: 6,000x 0.40 = 2,400

Finally we have to subtract the amount obtained to the original price for each case:

Computer: 1,100 - 220 = 880

Software: 6000-2400 = 3600

He will pay $880 for the computer and $3600 for the software.
