Question

Mr. Rodriquez bought a jacket at $69.50, a tie at $15.50 and a raincoat at $72.35. If he received a discount of 12 1/2% on each of these items, what was his bill?

Answer 1

$78.68

Explanation:

discount =1/2%

therefore

jacket= 69.50× 1/2

= make the price a fraction

= 6950/100× 1/2

=$34.75

tie = 15.50× 1/2

= 1550/100× 1/2

= 7.75

raincoat= 77.35×1/2

=7735/100×1/2 =36.175

=36.18

bill = 34.75+7.75+36.18= 78.68
