Question

Ms. Emily buys a hat and gloves with a coupon for 30% off her entire purchase. The glove cost $35 before the discount. Her bill before tax is 44.80

Answer 1

Explanation:

Okay, I'm assuming you want us to figure out how much the hat costs.

To start off, let's figure out how much the gloves cost after the discount. 35 / 100= 0.3. We multiply that by 70%, since that is how much of the price is going to be left over after deducting 30%. We get $24.50.

So;

$44.80 of the total bill - $24.50=$20.30.

So we now know the hat cost $20.30.
