Question

While back-to-school shopping, you find two pairs of jeans that cost $29 each, three shirts that cost $16 each, and a pair of shoes for $21. What is the total cost of these items, if the store is offering a 30% discount?

Answer 1

$88.9

Explanation:

First, you have to calculate the total cost of the items by adding up the results of multiplying the price of each item for its quantity:

Total cost=(29*2)+(16*3)+21

Total cost=58+48+21

Total cost=127

Now, you have to calculate 30% of that total and subtract that amount from the total cost:

127*30%=$38.1

127-38.1=$88.9

According to this, the answer is that the total cost of these items is $88.9 if the store is offering a 30% discount.
