Which expression can Dawn use to calculate the total price for her purchase?
A.(45 + 29) • 0.40 + 59 • 0.25
C.(45 + 29 + 59) • 0.65
B.(45 + 29) • 0.60 + 59 • 0.75
D.(45 + 29 + 59) • 0.35

Answer 1

Option C

The expression can Dawn use to calculate the total price for her purchase is:

`Total\ purchase\ price = (45+29) * 0.60 + 59 * 0.75`

Solution:

From given,

Discount for sandal = 40 % off

Discount for sneakers = 25 % off

Dawn purchases a pair of sandals with a regular price of $45 and another pair of sandals with a regular price of $29

Discount for sandal = 40 % off

If discount is 40 %, then they have to pay the 60 % amount

Therefore,

purchase price = 60 % of $ 45 + 60 % of $ 29

purchase price = 60% (45 + 29)

`Purchase\ price = 60 \% * (45 + 29)\\\\Purchase\ price =(60)/(100) * (45+29)\\\\Purchase\ price = (45+29) * 0.60`

A pair of sneakers with a regular price of $59

Discount for sneakers = 25 % off

If discount is 25 % off, then they have to pay 75 % amount

Therefore,

Purchase price = 75 % of $ 59

`Purchase\ price = 75 \% * 59\\\\Purchase\ price = (75)/(100) * 59\\\\Purchase\ price = 59 * 0.75`

Find the Total price of purchase:

`Total\ purchase\ price = (45+29) * 0.60 + 59 * 0.75`

Thus Option C is correct
