Question

Stupid buying a $35 tool. The store reduces the price by 5% and then applies an $8 off coupon. How much will Stu pay for the tool?

Answer 1

stupid paid $26.5 for the tool

Explanation:

stupid buying a tool of $35

Let the price of tool stupid pays be x

And since, store reduces the price by 5% that means price becomes 35-0.5 of the tool

Now, after applying the $8 off coupon it becomes 35-0.5-8

Now, the price that stupid paid for the tool is

x=35-0.5-8

We will solve for x we get:

x=26.5

Answer 2

Stupid pay for the tool is $25.3 (Approx) .

Explanation:

Stupid buying a $35 tool.

The store reduces the price by 5% and then applies an $8 off coupon.

5% is written in the decimal form.

`= (5)/(100)`

= 0.05

Price reduces = 0.05 × 35

= $ 1.75

Total cost of the tool = Original cost of tool - Price reduces - Coupon off

Here

Original cost of tool = $35

Coupon off = $8

put in the above

Stupid pay for the tool = 35 - 1.75 - 8

= 35 - 9.75

= $25.3 (Approx)

Therefore Stupid pay for the tool is $25.3 (Approx) .
