Answer: The bill with a discount is $18.59
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given information</u>
2 boxes of $3.49 cereal
3 cartons of $2.99 ice-cream
6 packs of $1.99 soda
1/3 discount off total bill
<u>Given expression</u>
Bill = (1 - 1/3) (2 × 3.49 + 3 × 2.99 + 6 × 1.99)
<u>Simplify values in parentheses </u>
Bill = (2/3) (6.98 + 8.97 + 11.94)
<u>Simplify by addition</u>
Bill = (2/3) (27.89)
<u>Simplify by multiplication</u>
Bill = $18.59 (Rounded to the nearest hundredth because the usual money ends in nearest cent)
