You can put this solution on YOUR website! Minimum to buy them is $50+3500, the cost of 100 calculators. That is $3550, so D is the best answer.
The cost of the minimum purchase of 100 calculators is 100 times $35, which is $3500. So none of answers A, B, or C can be the total cost of a purchase.
Add the flat $50 shipping charge to the cost of those 100 calculators, and the total cost is now $3550.
Then one more calculator for $35 brings the total to $3585 -- which is answer D.
