Answer
a. The backpack is $4.50
b. The sweatshirt is $2.70
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 30 x 0.15 = 4.50 (The 0.15 is from the price you are actually paying for the item. Because the item is 85% off, you are paying for 15% of the usual price. 15% as a decimal is 0.15 so you multiply that to the original price to find the amount u will pay.)
b. 18 x 0.15 = 2.70
I rounded each number to the nearest whole number and added those.
29 + 79 + 42 = 150
If you add the original numbers you would get 149.5, which rounds to 150.
Take $360.00 and multiply by .944 and that equals $339.84
