it pald. Then the store had a sale. Each shirt was on sale for 50% off the regular price. A customer purchased a shirt on sale. How much
money did the customer pay for the shirt?

Answer 1

He paid $15.

Explanation:

Store bough each shirt for $20.

It raised the price of the shirt by 50%.

50% of $20 = 0.2 × $20 = $10

$20 + $10 = $30

The store sold the shirts at a regular price of $30.

The store then had a sale at 50% off.

50% of $30 = 0.5 × $30 = $15

$30 - $15 = $15

The sale price was $15.
