Question

Michaela bought a pair of basketball shoes that were originally priced $39.90. She used a 10% off coupon to buy the basketball shoes. She modeled the discounted price of the basketball shoes with the expression shown. How much did Michaela pay for the basketball shoes???

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

Amount she paid for the shoes = $35.91

Step-by-step explanation

The original price for the pair of shoes is $39.90

She used a 10% off coupon to buy the shoes.

Now, the amount she will pay for the shoes can be calculated thus

Amount she would pay for the shoes

= (Original price of the shoes) - (Discount)

Original price of the shoes = 39.90

Discount = 10% of Original price = 10% of 39.90 = 0.10 (39.90) = 3.99

Amount she would pay for the shoes

= (Original price of the shoes) - (Discount)

= 39.90 - 3.99

= 35.91

New price she would pay = 39.90 (1 - 0.10)

Amount she paid = 39.90 (0.90) = $35.91

Hope this Helps!!!
