Question

A rain jacket at the store costs $56, but you have a 15% off coupon. Your new cost will be $38.00.

Answer 1

Answer:

Your new cost would be $47.60

Step-by-step explanation:

A rain jacket at the store costs $56.00

You have a 15% off coupon.

The discount will be = 15% of $56.00

                                 =  $\frac{15}{100}$ × 56.00

                                 = 0.15 × 56.00 = $8.40

You are eligible to the discount of $8.40 as you have 15% off coupon.

So your new cost will be = $56.00 - $8.40 = $47.60

$38.00 is wrong answer.

Your new cost would be $47.60

Answer 2

56*.15=$8.40
$56-$8.40= $57.60
The answer is  $57.60 meaning the answer is false. 

Hope this helps!!
