Question

Jamie bought a jacket for $50.99, jewelry for $12.99, and a book for $6.99. She used a coupon for 25% off the jacket. What was her total, without sales tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $58.2225

Explanation:

Jacket's price is reduced by 25%.

So,

Discounted price = $50 - 25% of $50.99

Discounted price = $38.2425

Now, her total is calculated by adding the cost of the three items she bought.

Total = discounted given in jacket's price + jewelry's price + book's price.

Total = 38.2425 + 12.99 + 6.99

Total = $58.2225

Answer 2

50.99 x .75 + 12.99 + 6.99 = $58.22 (to the nearest hundredth)
