Question

Will is at a shirt sale where he can buy one and get a second one for 40 percent off. He wants to buy two shirts priced at $29 each. How much will he pay?

Answer 1

he will pay $44.60

Explanation:

first shirt is $29

second shirt is 40% off so it is $15.60

total for the two shirts is $44.60

Answer 2

$46.4

Explanation:

The offer is that if you buy one shirt, the second one will be 40% off the total price and so to calculate the total cost of the two shirts you just have to do the next equation:

X is the price of each shirt.

Y is the total cost.

Y= 2x-.40x

y=1.6 x

y= 1.6(29)

y=46,4

The total cost of the two shirts would be 46,4 dollars.
