Question

An online store is offering 15% off all items in your order. Before the discount is applied, the items in your cart are: shampoo for $6.35, conditioner for $6.35, granola bars for $12.50, dish soap for $13.40, and toothpaste for $2.50. What is the discounted total price for all the items, assuming no sales tax is added? Report your answer to two decimal places. Do not include the dollar sign, $, in the answer box below.

Answer 1

34.94.

Explanation:

First we must find the total price of all the items: =$6.35+$6.35+$12.50+$13.40+$2.50=$41.10.

Next, we can calculate the discount: =(15/100)×$41.10=$6.165.

Therefore, our discounted price is $41.10−$6.165=$34.935≈$34.94.

Answer 2

The total discounted price is 34.93

Explanation:

The items in the cart are:

• Shampoo for $6.35
• Conditioner for $6.35
• Granola bars for $12.50
• Dish soap for $13.40
• Toothpaste for $2.50

Total cart = $ 41.10

Discount = 41.10 * 0.15 = $ 6.17

Discounted total price = 41.10 - 6.17

Discounted total price = 34.93
