Her first coupon ti be used is $50 off a purchase above $300
Final purchase price= $340
Step-by-step explanation:
Marie has two coupons
one for a 15% discount and one for $50 off any purchase above $300.
The stores allow the two coupons to be combined and she spends a total of $450.
Her first coupon ti be used is $50 off a purchase above $300.
So Marie have $400 now
15% off $400= 400-(0.15*400)
15% off $400 = 400-60
15% off $400 =$ 340
