boots (option B)
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the total of all the original item
Total = $85.75 + $71.99 + $24.25 + $44.95 = $226.94
Amount to be paid without applying coupon is $226.94
Amount paid after applying coupon = $208.94
Difference = Amount to be paid without applying coupon - Amount paid after applying coupon
Difference = $226.94 - $208.94 =$18
This difference indicates the amount of coupon
We need to find the item that will give $18 after applying a coupon of 25%
coat = 75% of 85.75 = 21.44
pair of boots = 25% of 71.99 = 17.9975 = 18
scarf = 25% of 24.25 = 6.07
pair of gloves = 25% of 44.95 = 11.23
100% - 25% = 75%
After applying coupon the percentage original price to be paid = 75%
75% of 71.99 = 53.99
$85.75 + $53.99 + $24.25 + $44.95 = $208.94
From the above, the item whose price would be around $18 after applying the coupon is boots (option B)
