Question

Haven bought a pair of jeans that were regularly $79 but were discounted 25%.She decided to return them but she didn't have a receipt.The store would only give her Credit for 90% of the price she paid.How much credit did Haven receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

$53.33

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the price that Haven paid

Price Paid = (Regular price)X(1 - discount in decimal form)

Price Paid = ($79) X (1-0.25)

Price Paid = ($79) X (0.75)

Price Paid = $59.25

Calculate 90% of the price Haven paid

Credit received = Price Paid X 90%

Credit received = $59.25 X 0.9

Credit received = $53.325

Credit received = $53.33  <= rounded to 2 decimal places

Haven received $53.33 of credit.
