Question

As a service to senior citizens a store gives a 15% discount to all seniors. If a senior bought a $220 suit and a %60 pair of slacks, how much did he pay??

Answer 1

$220 +$60= $280 -15%= $238 + taxes,fees, and anything else they can soak you for, so probably about $300!

Answer 2

I made a mistake on the other answer. is $220.00 and $60.
I suppose it is a $220 suit and a $60 pair of slacks. This amount with a 15% discount is $238.00. The savings is of $42 .00 The 15% of 220 is 33, and the 15% of 60 is 9.
So,... $238.00 is the amount he paid.

Answer 3

Two separate calculations; first, 15% of $220 is 220 times .15 (15%=15/100) = $33. This means he paid 220-33=187.
The $60 slacks are treated the same way. 60 times .15=9. He paid 51 for them. He paid a total of 187 plus 51 = 238 for the total.
If you elect to add the two purchases together originally, 220+60=280. 15% of 280 is 280 times .15 = 42. From the 280, subtract 42 to get 238

Answer 4

Purchases = $220 + $60 = $280
Discount = 15%
Balance to be paid = 100% less 15% = 85%

$280 times 85% = $238

He paid $238

Answer 5

Add 220+60 divide that by 100 then times that by 15 then subtract that total from 280

Answer 6

Too much... He should've went to Target...

$220+$60=$280
$280*(.15)=$42 (amount of discount)
$280-$42=$238

Answer 7

I dont understand the %60 pair of slacks. I assume this should be a dollar, if so the answer is $238 dollars.

Answer 8

assuming you meant $60 slacks...

220+60 = 280 bucks

.85 * 280 = $238.00

Plus tax.

Answer 9

Bought $280.00 worth of items. With a 15% discount of $42.00. Paid a total of $238.00.

Answer 10

$238
