Question

Addy bought a new shirt and she had a 20% off coupon . The coupon took $8.25 off of the price of her shirt. What did she pay without tax for her new shirt?

Answer 1

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Addy had 20% off coupon.

           The coupon took $8.25 off of the shirt price.

Lets assume the original cost of shirt be "x".

We know Addy had 20% off coupon, which help to reduce the price of shirt by $8.25.

∴ We can form an equation to know the original price of shirt.

⇒$\frac{20}{100} \times x= \ 8.25$

⇒$\frac{1}{5} \times x= \ 8.25$

Multiplying both side by 5

⇒$x= 8.25\times 5$

∴ $x= \ 41.25$

Hence, The original cost price of shirt was $41.25.

Next, finding the price paid by Addy for her new shirt by reducing coupon discount from the cost of shirt.

Price paid by Addy for her new shirt= $\ 41.25- \ 8.25= \ 33$

Hence, Addy paid $33 for her new shirt.
