You went to Sweet Spot to get some candy. The cost is $5.00 per pound. You have a coupon that gives you a discount of $0.20 off per pound. If you buy $4 pounds of candy, what will your total cost be, excluding tax?

Answer:

total cost be, excluding tax = $19.20

Explanation:

DISCOUNT: $0.20 x 4 pounds = $ 0.80

Cost of 4 pounds $5 x4 = $20

$20 - $0.80 = $19.20

Answer:

$19.20

Explanation:

The discount per pound is $0.20, so the cost per pound after the discount is $5.00 - $0.20 = $4.80 per pound.

You want to buy 4 pounds of candy, so the total cost before tax is 4 * $4.80 = $19.20

So, your total cost for 4 pounds of candy will be $19.20.
