Question

Nezzie is shopping for items for her daycare because the store is having a sale where everything in the store is 10% off. Nezzie buys a playhouse for $100.29 and a music center for $59.99. She has a coupon for an additional 15% off on the playhouse. Before tax, Nezzie estimates that her total, after discounts, will be about $122. Determine if Nezzie has estimated correctly.

Answer 1

Soo 100.26-15% off = $85.25 and 59.99 you need to crank it up 1 so $60-10% off=$54 last add $85.25+$54=$129.25

So no she is not right

Answer 2

c.

No. Nezzie has taken successive discounts on the total, but the coupon is just on the playhouse.
