Question

Johnathon needs to buy 2 pairs of socks. Each pair of socks cost $2.99. The store is having a 10% discount on all merchandise. How much of a discount will Jonathon receive if he buys both pairs?

Answer 1

discount = 0.598$

final payment after discount= 5.382$

Explanation:

2 pairs of socks = 2.99*2= 5.98$

the 10% discount: 5.98*10%= 0.598$ discount

Payment after discount for two pairs of socks= 5.98-0.598= 5.382$
