Question

On Monday, a jacket cost $36.95 and a shirt cost $21.42. On Friday the jacket was discounted by 20%, and the shirt was discounted by 1/3. What is the total price of the jacket and shirt on Friday, before sales tax?

A 14.28 B 29.56 C 43.84 D 43.91

Answer 1

Jacket: 100% - 20% = 80%
80% of $36.95 = $29.56

Shirt: 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3
2/3 of $21.42 = $14.28

$29.56 + $14.28 = $43.84

Therefore, the answer is C. $43.84. I hope this helped you!
