Help solving one more question please!Mason spent $15.85 for 3 notebooks and 2 boxes of markers.The boxes of markers cost $3.95 each,and the sales tax was $1.23.he also used a coupon for $0.75 off his purchase.If each notebook had same cost,how much did each notebook cost?
The answer is $2.49. Add the coupon to the total. So $15.85 + $0.75 = $16.60. Next, subtract the sales tax from $16.60. $16.60 - $1.23 = $15.37. Now, subtract one of the boxes of markers from $15.37. So,
$15.37 - $3.95 = $11.42. Now, subtract the other box from $11.42. You do $11.42 - $3.95 = $7.47. That is the 3 notebooks’ cost altogether. Since there are 3 notebooks, you divide $7.47 by 3. $7.47 divided by 3 is $2.49. I went to school and this answer was correct, so, yeah.
