1. At a clothing store, Zoey bought 2 shirts for $7.25 each and 2

pairs of jeans for $24 each. She used a coupon for $10 off the
total price of the clothes. The discounted price of the clothes Zoey
bought can be found using this expression.
[2(7.25) + 2(24)] - 10

What is the discounted price in dollars and cents of the clothes
Zoey bought?

Answer:

52.5 is the discounted price.

Explanation:

(2 · 7.25 + 2 · 24) - 10

(14.5 + 2 · 24) - 10

(14.5 + 48) - 10

62.5 - 10

= 52.5

I had solved the expression you had provided, receving 52.5 as the discounted price in dollars. The work is above. Hope this helped!
