Answer 1

Answer:

The price of the winter coat is $233.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A department store is having a sale on all winter coats = 15% off

You purchased a winter coat costs = $275.00

You got the coat on the discounted price = 275 - (15% × 275)

                                                                     = 275 - (0.15 × 275)

                                                                     = 275 - 41.25

                                                                     = $233.75

The discounted price of the winter coat is $233.75 (not including sales tax).
