option D

$148.2

Explanation:

Given in the question,

cost of fish = $84.79

cost of filter on sale = $44.75

cost of plants = $18.66

Total cost = $84.79 + $44.75 + $18.66

                = $148.2

The correct answer would be Option D, $148.20

Explanation:

Colin has a saving of 488.85 dollars.

He already has an aquarium. He needs to buy fish, filters and plants for his beautiful aquarium. Cost of fish, filters and plants are as follows:

Cost of Fish:        $84.79

Cost of Filters:     $44.75 ( previously the price was $60.45 but Colin purchased it on sale and saved 60.45 - 44.75 = 15.7 dollars)

Cost of Plants:     $18.66

Total Cost = Cost of fish + Cost of Filters + Cost of Plants

Total Cost = 84.79+44.75+18.66

Total Cost = 148.2 Dollars

So a total of 148.2 dollars out of 488.85 dollars saving of Colin will be used to set up his aquarium.
