Question

A website sells a dress at £40 and shoes at £32. The website has an offer: Buy a dress and shoes together and get 1/2 off the price. There is also a shipping and handling charge of £4 added at the end, after any discount. If Ruth buys both a dress and shoes, how much will she actually pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\pounds36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one dress = $\pounds40$

Cost of one pair of shoes = $\pounds32$

Cost of one dress and a pair of shoes is $40+32=\pounds72$

They get half off the price because they buy both

$\dfrac{72}{2}=\pounds32$

The shipping and handling charge is $\pounds4$.

So, the total amount Ruth has to pay is $32+4=\pounds36$.
