Question

A shop is advertising a 20% discount if you buy two items of the same type and price. Fred buys two t-shirts priced at $45.00 each and a pair of shorts for $35.00. What is the total cost for the items?

Answer 1

Fred will receive a 20% discount only for t-shirts. Then the total cost for the items is

$$(1-0.2)(2)(45.00)+35.00=\$107.00$$
