Question

Waylon is back-to-school shopping with his mom at a large department

store. He's picked out the following items: 3 pair of pants for $87 total, 4 t-shirts
for $48 total, 1 backpack for $35, 1 hoodie for $26, 1 pair of shoes for $37.
When they get to the register, they see this sign:

Answer 1

B, you would save 15%

Explanation:

87+48+35+26+37 = 233

and its over $200, so that means you would save 15%

Answer 2

Waylon's Purchase will cost $198.05, and section B depends.

Explanation: Section A is 85% of 233 since thats the total, making the answer to section A $198.05. The answer to section B depends because if he wants more school supplies, then yes, he would want to buy more things for better deals. But if he’s on a budget, then he wouldn't want to spend as much money since saving 20% on something over $300 is more than saving 15% on something over $200.
