Question

Leo wants to buy some shoes. He found the shoes at two different stores for a price of $35.

The stores are each having a sale.

- Store X is offering 15% off the price of the shoes.

- Store Y is offering $5 off the price of the shoes.

Calculate the difference between the total of the price for the shoes?

Answer 1

$3.50

Explanation:

Store X:

0.15*35 = 5.25

35-5.25 = 29.75 dollars

Store Y:

0.05*35 = 1.75

35-1.75 = 33.25 dollars

Total difference:

33.25-29.75 = 3.50 dollars
