Answer:
Karl could have saved $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of folders without the sale: 2.5*5 = $12.50
Cost of folders with the sale: 0.8*2.5 = $2 per folder * 5 folders = $10.00
Difference between prices: 12.5-10 = $2.50
Answer:
2.50$ Karl could have saved on the purchase by waiting a day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: total number of folders Karl bought is 5 .
The cost of each folder is 2.50$.
20% off sale the following day at Pay-A-Lot.
we have to find the 20% of each folder and then add them to get the final saving of Karl if he had waited for a day.
Step 1 of 2
20% of 2.50$ is equal to
[tex]$\begin{aligned}&=2.50 \cdot 20 \% \\&=2.50 \cdot \frac{20}{100} \\&=0.50 \$\end{aligned}$[/tex]
this is the amount Karl would save on each folder if waited for a day or this is the discount on the amount of 2.50$ that the shopkeeper will give the next day on each
Step 2 of 2
Karl bought 5 folders
so, total savings would be equal to
[tex]$\begin{aligned}&=5 \cdot 0.50 \\&=2.50 \$\end{aligned}$[/tex]
