Answer 1

Answer:

Buy Two tshirts and a pair of pants....

Step-by-step explanation:

Total purchase -

$9.85 + $56.00 = $65.85

Shipping charges is 20%  -

65.85 * 0.2 = 13.17

Total (including shipping) = $79.02

If you purchace two t shirts and a pair of pants then you dont have to pay for the shipping therefore,

Total purchase will be -

$9.85 + $56.00 + $9.85 = $75.70

Puchasing 2 tshirts will be $3.32 cheaper....

Answer 2

Answer:

You should buy a second t-shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total without shipping comes out to $65.85. Add the 20% shipping by multiplying .20 by the total, $65.85, and you get $65.85 plus $13.17, the total being $79.02. Now, if you added another shirt for $9.85, your total comes out to $75.70, which barely qualifies for free shipping. In other words, yes, you should purchase a second shirt because you would actually save money, almost $4.
