Jackie is purchasing a $200 coat at 15% off. There is a $5.00 shipping charge to have the item shipped to her house. What is the total amount that Jackie must pay?

A. $170
B. $175
C. $205
D. $220

(0.85 * 200) + 5 = ?

B.

200(15%)=30

200-30=170

170+5= $175

To find the total amount that Jackie must pay, we need to calculate the discounted price of the coat and then add the shipping charge.

First, let's calculate the discounted price of the coat. To do this, multiply the original price ($200) by the discount percentage (15% expressed as a decimal, which is 0.15):
Discounted price = $200 * 0.15 = $30

Now we subtract the discounted price from the original price to find the amount Jackie saves:
Amount saved = $200 - $30 = $170

Next, we add the shipping charge to the discounted price to find the total amount that Jackie must pay:
Total amount = $170 + $5 = $175

Therefore, option B. $175 is the correct answer.
