Question

Charles wants to buy an anime book that is on sale for $14.99. Her sister kyra wants to buy a novel book for $17.99. Both of them has to pay a 7% tax. Kyra has a coupon for 15% discount. Whats the difference between the amount that each siblings has to pay?

Answer 1

The difference between their total amounts is .34 cents

also it didnt look like i was supposed to count a discount for charles so i didnt :)

Explanation:

Charles

14.99 times .07 = 1.04

14.99 + 1.04 = 16.03

Kyra

17.99 times .15 = 2.69

17.99 -2.69 = 15.30

15.30 times .7 = 1.07

15.30 + 1.07 = 16.37

16.37 - 16.03 = .34
