Question

Heather wants to purchase a pet from her local pet store. The pet store is offering 50% off rare exotic parrots. The original purchase price of a parrot is $956.50. Heather has a coupon for 10% off her entire purchase. How much will she pay if she also purchases a birdcage for $47.05?

$525.66
$478.25
$472.77
$903.20

Answer 1

C) $472.77

Step-by-step explanation: The parrot is half off so it goes from $956.50 to $478.25. Add the bird cage for $47.05 and she has a total of $523.3 to pay. The 10% off coupon makes her need to pay $472.77.

Answer 2

$472.77

Explanation:

To to this you would just do 50% of 956.50 so you would multiply 956.50 and 50 so you get 48,725 and divide by 100 so you get 487.25 as the price of the bird. So then you you would add 47.05 to the number so you get 525.30 and you would multiply by 10 then divide by 100 so you get 52.53 and subtract that from 525.30 so you get $472.77
