Math Problem Statement

Linh buys two T-shirts for $12 each, a pair of shoes for $28, and a pair of jeans for $45. She has a coupon for 30 percent off her total purchase. There is no tax on her purchase. What is the final price that Linh pays? $25.50 $29.10 $59.50 $67.90

Solution

To determine the final price Linh pays, we need to calculate her total purchase before applying the 30% coupon, then apply the discount.

Step 1: Calculate the total price before the discount

Linh buys:

  • 2 T-shirts at $12 each: 2×12=242 \times 12 = 24
  • 1 pair of shoes for $28
  • 1 pair of jeans for $45

The total price before the discount is: 24+28+45=9724 + 28 + 45 = 97

Step 2: Apply the 30% discount

A 30% discount means Linh saves 30% of $97. Let's calculate the discount: 0.30×97=29.100.30 \times 97 = 29.10

Step 3: Subtract the discount from the total price

The final price Linh pays is: 9729.10=67.9097 - 29.10 = 67.90

Therefore, the final price Linh pays is $67.90.

The correct answer is: 67.90\boxed{67.90}

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What would Linh pay if the discount was 50% instead of 30%?
  2. How would tax affect Linh's final price if there was a 7% sales tax?
  3. If Linh returned one of the T-shirts, what would be her new total after the discount?
  4. What is the percentage discount Linh would need to bring her final price to exactly $50?
  5. How much would Linh save if the shoes were on a separate 10% discount?

Tip: When calculating discounts, it's often easier to subtract the percentage from 100% and multiply directly by the original total for quicker results!
