Given:
Cost of each shirt = $14.95
Cost of a tie = $12
Discount on Sale = 15% off
Manny buys three shirts and a tie.
To find:
The Manny's total cost.
Solution:
We have,
Cost of 1 shirt = $14.95
Cost of 3 shirt = 3 × $14.95
= $44.85
Cost of a tie = $12
Total cost before discount = Cost of 3 shirt + Cost of a tie
= $44.85 + $12
= $56.85
Everything in the store is on sale for 15% off. So,
[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=56.85-\dfrac{15}{100}\times 56.85[/tex]
[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=56.85-0.15\times 56.85[/tex]
[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=56.85-8.5275[/tex]
[tex]\text{Manny's total cost}=48.3225[/tex]
Therefore, the Manny's total cost is $48.3225.
