Question

On Monday Mrs. Wise bought 3 lbs of apples at $4 per lb. On Tuesday, apples were on sale for 20% off so she bought another 5 lbs.

What was the price of apples on Tuesday?

Answer 1

$3.20

Explanation:

Answer 2

On Tuesday the price per lbs is $3.80 and since she bought 5 lbs the final cost was $16. I got this by taking 10% of 4 so basically dividing by 10 making .40 doing that twice gives you .80 taking that from 4.00 gives you 3.20 then multiply that by 5. Hope it helped.
