Select all of the following descriptions of prices for a pair of vans that Tim would buy. 10% off $53.00 15% off $65.00 30% off $80.00 $47.60, plus a $2.20 shipping fee $46.35, plus a $5.35 shipping fee $48.75, plus a $5.15 shipping fee Explain how we would solve these problems. We need to multiply then subtract from the original price. You also need to add the price and the shipping cost.
3. Work space 10% off $53.00 .10(53) = 5.3 Yes 53 - 5,3 = $47.70 15% off $65.00 .15(65) = 9.75 No 65 – 9.75 = $55.25 30% off $80.00 .30(80) = 24 No 80 – 24 = $56.00 $47.60, plus a $2.20 shipping fee 47.60 + 2.20 = $49.80 Yes $46.35, plus a $5.35 shipping fee 46.35 + 5.35 = $51.70 No $48.75, plus a $5.15 shipping fee 48.75 + 5.15 = $53.90 No
