Question

Jordan is buying plastic plates for a party.The plates usually cost $2.40 per 10 plates,but they are on sale for 30% off usual price.If jordan buys 50 plates,how much will they cost

Answer 1

Explanation:

2.40 X 5 =$12

12 X 0.3=$3.6 off

12-3.6=$8.40

Therefore it'll cost $8.40

Answer 2

30% off means they are paying 70% of the original price.

Sale price = 2.40 x 0.70 = $1.68 for 10 plates

50 plates / 10 = 5

They buy 5 packages of plates.

1.68 x 5 = $8.40

Total price = $8.40
