Question

Andy participated in a neighbor’s garage sale. He sold 3 items: a picture frame for $8.50, a teapot for $3.75, and a set of 6 cups for $4.75. Andy paid the neighbor 10% of his earnings for allowing him to participate in the sale. What were Andy’s earnings after he paid the neighbor the 10%?

Answer 1

$15.3

Explanation:

15.3 because if you add up all the earnings and then calculate 10%of 17 you get 1,7. 17-1.7=15.3

Answer 2

$15.30

Explanation:

8.50+3.75+4.75=$17

100-10=90

17x0.90=

15.3
