You want to buy three books that are on sale at 20% off. The original prices of the books are $2.50, $4.95, and $6.00. How much will you save?
Calculation Without Distribution
(Show all steps.)
Please help!!! i know how to do it with distribution, but i am not sure how to do without.
after a 20% discount, you would be paying 80% or .8
two ways:
1. .8(2.50+4.95+6.00)
= .8(13.45)
= 10.76
2.
.8(2.5) + .8(4.95) + .8(6.00)
= 2.00 + 3.96 + 4.8
= 10.76
-____- i just needed help.. not the answer.. Sorry if i sound rude
i know... ive calculated that and i am pretty sure it 2.69. am i correct?
Keep in mind that I calculated your cost for you, not how much you saved.
You will still have to do that calculation.
