Question

Evelyn bought some belts online for $70. She used a coupon code to get a 10% discount. The website also applied a 5% processing fee to the price after the discount. How much did Evelyn pay, in the end? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

66.15

Explanation:

70 dollars - discount + fee

discount = 10% of total = 10% of 70 = 0.1 * 70 = 7

fee = 5% of discounted price

discounted price = original - discount = 70 -7 = 63

fee = 5% of 65 = 0.05 * 65 = 3.15

70 - 7 + 3.25 = 66.15
