Question

clara has a coupon for $10 off at her favorite clothing store. the coupon is applied before any dicounts are taken. the store is having a sale, and offering 15 % off everything. if clara has $50 to spend, how much can her purchases total before applying the discount and her coupon? round to the nearest cent (explain plz)

Answer 1

> $10 Coupon applied before any discounts are taken
> Sale is 15% everything

We do this in reverse:
If she has $50 , first you add the discount, 50 * 115% = $57.50
Then you add the coupon, 57.50 + 10 = $67.50 
Her purchases can total up to $67.50 before the coupon and discount is applied.

We know this is correct because: 67.50 - coupon = 57.50 , 57.50 with discount = $50
