Question

Theresa bought three containers of tennis balls at $2.98 each. She had a coupon for $1 off. Her mom paid for half of the remaining cost. How much did Theresa pay? Evaluate the expression [(3×2.98)-1]÷2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

$3.97

Explanation:

Three containers @$2.98 = 3 × 2.98 = $8.94

Less $1 = -1.00

7.94

Less 50% paid my mom = ½ × 7.94 = -3.97

Paid by Theresa = $3.97

[(3 × 2.98) - 1] ÷ 2 = (8.94 - 1) ÷ 2 = 7.94 ÷ 2 = 3.97
