Question

At one store, Matt saved $25 with a coupon for 50% off his total purchase. At another store, the $22 he spent on books is 44% of his total bill. How much did Matt spend in all at the two store?

Answer 1

$25 * 50% = $12.50

$22 * 44% = $9.68 ---> $22 - $9.68 = $12.32

He spent $12.50 + $12.32 = $24.82 in both stores.
