Question

Adam used a discount coupon for 25% off at his favorite clothing store. He bought 2 pairs of sunglasses for xx dollars each and 6 jackets for yy dollars each. Which expression represents the total amount Adam paid after the coupon was applied?

Answer 1

Two pairs of glass for $x = 2x

money paid after discount = (1 - 0.25) x ( 2x)

= 0.75(2x)

6 jackets cost = 6y

money paid after discount ( 1 - 0.25) x (6x) = 0.75(6y)

Total amount Adam paid = 0.75(2x) + 0.75(6y)

factor 0.75 out

Total amount Adam paid = 0.75( 2x + 6y)
