Question

Prompt: Sasha wants to go to the department store this Saturday for the big sale. She has saved $45, received $75 from birthday gift cards, and will receive $125 on Friday from work. Her mother reminds Sasha of the $39 she owes her for the last pair of jeans. Sasha also needs to put $50 in her savings. The sale has $40 jeans at 20 percent off and T-shirts on sale for 3 for $15.99. How many pairs of jeans and T-shirts can Sasha purchase? Show or explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that :

Inflow for Sasha = $(45 + 75 + 125) = $245

Outflow = $(39 + 50) = $89

Amount shasha can spend on sale :

$(245 - 89) =$156

T- shirt sales = 3 for $15.99

Pair of Jeans = (1 - 0.2) = 0.8 * $40 = $32

3 pairs of jeans

12 T-shirts at 3 for $15.99

3 jeans = 3 * $32
