Question 5 • FowU - Financial Math - B

Winter is coming, so Sasha decides to buy new outdoor gear. She has a coupon good for 25% off. She buys a coat with an original price of $85.75, a pair of boots with an original price of $71.99, a scarf with an original price of $24.25, and a pair of gloves with an original price of $44.95. She pays a total of $208.94. To which item did Sasha apply her coupon?

Answer
A
coat
B
boots
C
scarf
D
gloves

Explanation

Add the original prices: $85.75 + $71.99 + $24.25 + $44.95 = $226.94. Sasha paid $208.94, so the coupon reduced the total by $18.00. A 25% discount on the boots, which cost $71.99, is about $18.00, so she applied the coupon to the boots.
