You have a $20 coupon that can be applied to the purchase of a graphing calculator. When you get to the store you find that they are offering 15% off calculators. But, you can’t use your coupon and get the 15% discount. This makes you wonder what the cost of a calculator would be for your coupon and the 15% off discount to be the same. Find the original price of a calculator where you would pay the same amount whether you used the coupon or got the discount.

Step-by-step explanation:
1. (20 +15) - (15+15)
2. 20+15=35
3. 15+15=30
4.35-30=5
5. 15% of 20 = 3
6. 5+3+4+20= 32
7. 32-3=29
8. 29-20=9
The answer is you got the discount
