Answer 1

Madelyn paid $203.13 for the Nintendo Switch.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Madelyn paid for the Nintendo Switch, we need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the sale price by deducting 1/4 from the original price.
   Original price: $325
   Sale price: $325 - (1/4 * $325) = $325 - $81.25 = $243.75
2. Calculate the final price after applying the coupon by deducting 1/6 from the sale price.
   Sale price: $243.75
   Final price: $243.75 - (1/6 * $243.75) = $243.75 - $40.63 = $203.13

Therefore, Madelyn paid $203.13 for the Nintendo Switch.
