off normal prices

Answer 1

Yes, Billy will have enough money to buy two denim shirts.

Explanation:

£9.60 × (1/3)

= £3.20

On the special offer day, a denim shirt will cost £3.20.

£3.20×2 = £6.40

Two shirts will cost £6.40

Billy has £13, which will be enough for him to buy two shirts and will have a remaining balance of £6.60
