Question

Margo bought 5 CDs for $24.95 each. For each one she bought, she received a coupon allowing her to purchase one more CD at half price. If the full price of each CD she chose to buy with her coupons was 23.50 how much did margo spend altogether, not including taxes, for her 10 CDs

Answer 1

Answer: $183.50

Step-by-step explanation:if you multiply 24.95 times the 5 CD’s you get 124.75 , since she got a coupon which allows her to buy CD’s at half price. the original price is 23.50 and divide it by half it equals to 11.75, now you multiply that 11.75 times the 5 extra CD’s she bought and you get 58.75. 124.75+58.75= 183.50

Answer 2

Answer:the amount that she paid altogether is $183.5

Explanation:

The cost of each CD that Margo bought is $24.95. Therefore, the total cost of the 5 CDs would be

24.95 × 5 = $124.75

For each one she bought, she received a coupon allowing her to purchase one more CD at half price. This means that she can buy 5 extra CDs for half the price.

If the full price of each CD she chose to buy with her coupons was 23.50, it means that the amount that she paid for each is 23.50/2 = $11.75

The total cost of 5 extra CDs would be 11.75 × 5 = $58.75

Therefore, the amount that she paid altogether would be

124.75 + 58.75 = $183.5
