Answer:
$89.60 will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a rule of three.
In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.
When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.
When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.
In this problem, we have the following measures:
-The total money
-The percentage of money
As the percentage of money increases, so does the total money. It means that the relationship between the measures is direct.
The problem states that Shirtbarn is having a sale where everything in the store is 40% off. It means that in every purchase, you save 40% of the money.
How much will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register?
40% of 224 will be saved. So
$224 - 1
$x - 0.4
x = 224*0.4
x = $89.60
$89.60 will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register
, so the largest value that 
alone (for any real value of 
) can take on is 1.
, and so 
.
