Can someone plz help me with this math problem?

Answer 1

Cheese $1.99 * 1/2 = $1.00
Sliced Ham $3.29 * 3 = $9.87
Bread $1.59 * 2 = $3.18
Potato Chips $3 * 2 = $6
Salsa $1.39 * 1 = $1.39
Total $1.00+$9.87+$3.18+$6+$1.39
Total Spent $21.44

Coupon 1 $21.44-$4.00=$17.44
Coupon 2 $21.44 * 10% = $2.14
$21.44 - $2.14 =$19.30

Coupon 1 will save you the most money

Answer 2

Answer:

Coupon 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchase list :

1/2 lb cheese

3 lbs sliced ham

2 loaves of bread

4 bags of potato chips

1 container of salsa.

Cost of 1 lb cheese = $1.99

So, cost of 1/2 lb = $1.99 \times \frac{1}{2}$

                            = $0.955$

Cost of 1 lb sliced Ham = $3.29

So, cost of 3 lb Sliced Ham = $3.29 \times 3$

                                             = $9.87$

Cost of 1 loaf of bread = $ 1.59

So, cost of 2 loaves of bread = $1.59 \times 2$

                                                = $3.18$

Cost of 2 bags of potato chips = $ 3

So, cost of 4 bags = $3+$3  = $6

Cost of 1 container of salsa = $1.39

So, total cost of purchase before sales tax =$0.955+9.87+3.18+6+1.39$ = $21.395$

Now The food sales tax is 3%.

So, 3% of total = $3% \times 21.395$

                        = $\frac{3}{100} \times 21.395$

                        = $0.64185$

Thus total cost including sales tax = $21.395+0.64185$

                                                        = $22.036

Coupon 1: $4.00 off if your purchase totals more than $15.00

Since total cost is more than $15

So, $4 is off on total cost

So, total cost after coupon is applied = $22.036-$4 =$18.036

Coupon 2:  10% off if the total is more than $20.00.

So, 10% of total cost = $10\% \times 22.036$

                                  = $\frac{10}{100} \times 22.036$

                                  = $2.2036$

So, total cost after getting 10 % off = $22.036-2.2036$

                                                          =19.8324

So, total cost after coupon 2 is applied = $19.8324

Hence coupon 1 will save the most money .
