Question

Mr. Cromleigh is going to the store . He finds a great deal on Chex Mix. The Kroger brand is $4.12 with 15% off as well as an additional 10% off the sale price. The regular brand of Chex Mix is $3.87 and on sale for 10% off.

How much is each bag?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total Discount on Kroger brand = 15 + 10 = 15%

The new price of Kroger brad = 4.12 - (15/100 × 4.12)

= 4.12 - 0.618

= $3.50

The new price of Chex Mix = 3.87 - (10/100 × 3.87)

= 3.87 - 0.387

= $3.48

∴ The cost of a bag of Kroger brand is $3.50 and the cost of a bag of Chex Mix is $3.48
