Question

.A jacket cost $40 at the store. Jose pays only 0.7 of the proce because his father works there. Evan has a coupon $10 off. Explain who will pay less for the jacket.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jose will pay 2 dollars less for the jacket than Evan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Selling price of the jacket at the store (SP) = $40

Amount paid by Jose to buy the jacket is 0.7 of SP.

Discount coupon Even has = $10

Now, amount paid by Jose is 0.7 of SP. So, this equals:

$P_{Jose}=0.7\times 40=\ 28$

Amount paid by Even is equal to the total amount minus discount coupon.

Therefore, framing in equation we have:

$P_{Evan}=40-10=\ 30$

Therefore, we observe that, $P_{Jose}<P_{Evan}$. Also,

$P_{Evan}-P_{Jose}=30-28=\ 2$

Hence, Jose will pay 2 dollars less for the jacket than Evan.
