Question

Sabrina has a coupon for $5.50 off her purchase at a clothing store. If she buys a shirt for $12.75, a pair of shorts for $10.20, and a skirt for $12.50, what is the total cost of her purchase?

Answer 1

$29.95

Explanation:

Add all the things she buys together then subtract 5.50 out from that.

12.75+10.20+12.50=35.45

35.45-5.50

29.95

Answer 2

$29.95

Explanation:

All the clothing items together costs:

$12.75 + $10.20 + $12.50 = $35.45

However, since she has a coupon for $5.50 off of her purchase, you would subtract $5.50 from $35.45:

$35.45 - $5.50 = $29.95

Therefore, the total cost is $29.95
