Question

You buy school clothes during a sale when everything in the store is 15% off. Which of the following could describe

your total cost?
(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.15 = 0
(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.85 = 0
(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59). 1.15 = 0
(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) - 0.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = 0
1.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) - 0.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = C
0.15(29.99 + 18.65+ 32.59) (29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = 0

Answer 1

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.85 = 0 is correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.85 = 0

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) - 0.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = 0

Explanation:

The 15% off represents percentage discount. The relationship between percentage discount and total cost is given by the equation;

Actual cost - (Percentage discount) Actual cost = Total cost

The correct options are;

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.85 = 0

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) - 0.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = 0
