Question

A store is offering 15% of all shoes.Ayla purchase shoes and clothes.The expression representing her total cost ( Including 9% tax) is c+(1-0.15)s+0.09 [1-0.15s].Which term represent the cost of the shoes after the discount

Answer 1

Term representing the cost of the shoes after discount is (1-0.15)s.

Explanation:

We are given that the expression representing the total cost is,

Total cost = c+(1-0.15)s+0.09(1-0.15s), where c = cost of the clothes and s = cost of the shoes.

It is required to find the term representing the cost of the shoes after discount.

Since, the cost of the shoes = s and there is a 15% i.e. 0.15 is the discount

That is, (1-0.15)s will be new cost of the shoes after discount.

Hence, the term representing the cost of the shoes after discount is (1-0.15)s.

Answer 2

`(1-0.15)s`

Explanation:

Let s be the cost of shoes.

We have been given that a store is offering 15% of all shoes. Ayla purchase shoes and clothes.

As store is offering 15% off on all shoes, so cost of shoes after discount will be s minus 15% of s.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

`\text{The cost of shoes after discount}=s-((15)/(100)*s)`

`\text{The cost of shoes after discount}=s-0.15*s`

Upon factoring out s we will get,

`\text{The cost of shoes after discount}=(1-0.15)s`

Therefore, the expression
`(1-0.15)s` represents the cost of shoes after discount.
