Question

7) You buy a notebook for $2.99 and a pack of erasers for $1.99. If you have a 25% off coupon for the whole order, how much will you have to pay for both items?

Answer 1

i think it is $4.73

Explanation:

Answer 2

$3.73

Explanation:

Notebook: $2.99

Pack of Erasers: $1.99

Add together to get the total amount before the coupon.

`2.99 + 1.99 = 4.98`

Given 25% off coupon for the WHOLE ORDER. To make things easier, take 75% of 4.98.

`.75(4.98) = 3.735`

Or do the long way if you want.

`.25(4.98) = 1.245 = 1.25\\4.98 -1.25=3.73`
