The coach for a basketball team wants to buy new shoes for her 12 players.
Super Sports is offering a 20% discount on each pair of shoes, which were originally priced $72.50. A 6.5% sales tax will be applied to the discounted price.
The same shoes are also available on Double Dribble’s web site for $54.75. A 9% processing fee will be applied to the cost of the shoes, plus a shipping fee of $5.99 for each pair.
What is the difference in the total costs of the 12 pairs of shoes between the two stores.
Just find the difference for one pair, since there is no quantity discount.
Then multiply by 12
Super Sports: 72.50 * 0.80 * 1.065
Double Dribble: 54.75 * 1.09 + 5.99

Super Sports: 72.50 * 0.80 * 1.065
Double Dribble: 54.75 * 1.09 + 5.99
then multiply the answer of the recent equation with 12 then that will be your answer,if its wrong then im sorry but my math teacher told me this was the way to solve a problem
To find the difference in the total costs of the 12 pairs of shoes between the two stores, we need to calculate the total cost at each store and then compare them.
Let's start with Super Sports:
1. Discounted price per pair: Since Super Sports is offering a 20% discount on the original price of $72.50, we can calculate the discounted price as follows:
Discounted price = Original price - (Discount percentage * Original price)
Discounted price = $72.50 - (20/100 * $72.50)
2. Sales tax: Super Sports applies a 6.5% sales tax to the discounted price of each pair. To calculate the sales tax amount for each pair:
Sales tax = Sales tax percentage * Discounted price
Sales tax = 6.5/100 * Discounted price
3. Total cost per pair: To find the total cost per pair at Super Sports, we need to add the discounted price and the sales tax amount:
Total cost per pair = Discounted price + Sales tax
4. Total cost for 12 pairs at Super Sports: Multiply the total cost per pair by the number of pairs (12) to find the total cost for 12 pairs.
Now let's move to Double Dribble's website:
1. Processing fee: Double Dribble's website applies a 9% processing fee on the cost of the shoes. To calculate the processing fee amount for each pair:
Processing fee = Processing fee percentage * Cost of shoes
Processing fee = 9/100 * $54.75
2. Shipping fee per pair: Double Dribble's website charges $5.99 for shipping each pair. To calculate the shipping fee for 12 pairs:
Shipping fee for 12 pairs = Shipping fee per pair * Number of pairs
3. Total cost per pair: To find the total cost per pair at Double Dribble's website, we need to add the cost of the shoes, processing fee, and shipping fee:
Total cost per pair = Cost of shoes + Processing fee + Shipping fee per pair
4. Total cost for 12 pairs at Double Dribble's website: Multiply the total cost per pair by the number of pairs (12) to find the total cost for 12 pairs.
Finally, to find the difference in the total costs between the two stores, subtract the total cost for 12 pairs at Double Dribble's website from the total cost for 12 pairs at Super Sports.
