Based on the given scenario above, the correct answer would be option A. So in order for you to compute your final cost for the potato chips you purchase, what you should do is that, you subtract $1.00 off each bag and then multiply by .20. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

Answer 2

The correct option is: C. Add the two bags together, multiply by .80, and then subtract $1.00.

Explanation:

First you need to add the prices of two bags for getting the total sales price.

Now, the store is offering 20% off, that means you need to pay 80% of the total sales price. For finding the amount, we need to multiply the total sales price by 0.80

Then, you have a manufacturers coupon for a $1.00 off. So, for fining the final price, you need to subtract that $1.00 from the last result.

Thus, the correct option will be......

C. Add the two bags together, multiply by .80, and then subtract $1.00.
