Bridget buys a pair of shoes that cost $89.99. She has a coupon for 30% off. How much does she pay for the shoes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out how much Bridget pays for the shoes after using her 30% off coupon, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Find the amount of discount:<\/strong>
    The original price of the shoes is $89.99. To calculate the discount, multiply the original price by 30% (which is 0.30 in decimal form): Discount=89.99\u00d70.30=26.997\\text{Discount} = 89.99 \\times 0.30 = 26.997Discount=89.99\u00d70.30=26.997 So, the discount is approximately $27.00<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Subtract the discount from the original price:<\/strong>
    To find the price after the discount, subtract the amount of the discount from the original price: Price\u00a0after\u00a0discount=89.99\u221227.00=62.99\\text{Price after discount} = 89.99 – 27.00 = 62.99Price\u00a0after\u00a0discount=89.99\u221227.00=62.99 Therefore, the price Bridget pays for the shoes is $62.99<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Step 1:<\/strong> We calculate the 30% discount by multiplying the original price ($89.99) by 0.30. This gives the amount to be reduced from the original price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Step 2:<\/strong> Subtract the discount from the original price to find the final price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      So, after applying the coupon, Bridget pays $62.99<\/strong> for the shoes. This method of calculating discounts is common when using coupons, as you first find the amount of the discount and then subtract it from the original price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
