Question

.A jacket cost $40 at the store. Jose pays only 0.7 of the proce because his father works there. Evan has a coupon $10 off. Explain who will pay less for the jacket.

Answer 1

Jose will pay 2 dollars less for the jacket than Evan.

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price of the jacket at the store (SP) = $40

Amount paid by Jose to buy the jacket is 0.7 of SP.

Discount coupon Even has = $10

Now, amount paid by Jose is 0.7 of SP. So, this equals:

`P_(Jose)=0.7* 40=\$28`

Amount paid by Even is equal to the total amount minus discount coupon.

Therefore, framing in equation we have:

`P_(Evan)=40-10=\$30`

Therefore, we observe that,
`P_(Jose)<P_(Evan)`. Also,

`P_(Evan)-P_(Jose)=30-28=\$2`

Hence, Jose will pay 2 dollars less for the jacket than Evan.
