Last week, the price of cherries at the corner deli was $4.99 per pound. This week, cherries at the same deli are on sale at a 1

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The price for 3.75 pounds of cherries is $17.775.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price las week was $ 4.99 and it got a discount of 15% for this week, this means that the price for this week is 100% of the one prior minus 15%, therefore it is 85% of the last price. We need to calculate the price per pound with this discount as shown below:

$\text{this week} = \text{last week}*\frac{95}{100}\\\\\text{this week} = 4.99*0.95 = 4.74 \text{ per pound}\\$

Since the price is $4.74 per pound and we want to buy 3.75 pounds, then the total amount we need to pay is:

$\text{total amount} = 3.75*4.74 = 17.775$

The price for 3.75 pounds of cherries is $17.775.
