Question

Antonia bought a set of dishes, a towel, and a candle at a housewares store. The set of dishes cost $35.02, the towel cost $21.43, and the candle cost $9.59 before any coupons or discounts.
She used a $0.50-off coupon on the candle, a $2.75-off coupon on the towel, and the set of dishes was on sale for 10% off the regular price. Which of the following best describes the amounts that Antonia saved?

Answer 1

Answer:

Antonia saved $5.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Candle:

$9.59 - $0.50 (coupon) = $9.09

Towel:

$21.43 - $2.75 (coupon) = $18.68

Dishes:

$21.43 x 10% = 2.143

$21.43 - $2.143 = $19.287, rounded to the nearest cent and it’s $19.29.

Calculate the amount of money saved by adding 0.50 + 2.75 + 2.143, which is 5.393. Round to the nearest cent and it will be $5.39.
