Question

The clearance sale advertised 1/3 off the list price of clothes and 1/2 off the list price of luggage. Ramon bought a suitcase with a list price of $100 and a coat with a list price of $195. What was his total bill?

A. $115
B. $150
C. $180
D. $295

Answer 1

The closest answer C, however the actual answer is $196.25. 

Answer 2

price of the coat = 2/3*195 = 2*195/3 = 2*65 = 130
price of the luggage = 1/2*100 = 100/2 = 50
total bill = 130+50 = 180
