Answer:

£69

Explanation:

Given information:

  • Cost of dress = £50
  • Cost of shoes = £43
  • Discount offer: Buy a dress and shoes together and get 1/3 off the price.
  • Shipping & handling charge = £7 (added after the discount is applied)

Cost of buying a dress and shoes:

⇒ £50 + £43 = £93

Discount:

⇒ 1/3 of £93 = 1/3 × 93 = £31

Cost of goods after discount is applied:

⇒ £93 - £31 = £62

Addition of shipping and handling:

⇒ £62 + £7 = £69

Therefore, Ruth will pay £69 if she buys a dress and shoes.
