Question

While shopping for new clothes, you notice that one particular brand of shirts is on sale for 20% off the original price. You also have a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase. Coupons are applied after the 20% discount is taken. If each shirt originally costs $17.99, how many shirts would you need to buy to be able to use your coupon? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

20/100*17.99

=3.998

17.99-3.998=13.992

13.992*40=559.68

559.68-10=549.68
