Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of the boots is $ 80

On sale the new price is 30% off on $ 80

So the new price is $56

He have only $30 to spend

But he have a coupon of 35 % off, if he applied on the new price, the price will be = $56 at 35% off

= $19.6

Now the after the discount the  price is $19.6

Now he is able to buy the shoes, because he have $30 to spend.
