[Question]Todd bought a pair of jeans that cost $125 at full price. The jeans were on sale for 20% off. He then applied a coupon that took off $10. He paid with a store credit card that gave him another 10% off the remaining amount. How many dollars did he save on the original price of the jeans?
[Answer]The jeans were on sale for 20% = 20 / 100 = 1 / 5 off, so the sale took 125 / 5 = $25 off. Thus, after the sale, the jeans cost $125 - $25 = $100. Todd’s coupon lowered the price to $100 - $10 = $90. The store credit card gave him 10% = 10 / 100 = 1 / 10 off, so the card took $90 / 10 = $9 off. Thus, he paid $90 - $9 = $81 for the jeans. Therefore, Todd saved $125 - $81 = $44 on the original price of the jeans. The answer is 44.
Q: A company was contracted to construct three buildings, with the second building being two times as tall as the first building. The third building had to be three times as tall as the combined height of the first and second buildings. If the first building was 600 feet, calculate the total height of the three buildings together.
A: The second building is two times as tall as the first building, a total of 600 * 2 = 1200 feet. The total height of the first and the second building is 1200 + 600 = 1800 feet. The third building is three times as tall as the combined height of the first and second buildings, which is 1800 * 3 = 5400 feet. Together, the three buildings have a total height of 5400 + 1800 = 7200 feet. The answer is 7200.
Question: Jackie's favorite cosmetic company was offering free shipping when you spent $50.00. Jackie ordered her favorite shampoo and conditioner that each cost $10.00 a bottle and 3 bottles of lotion that cost $6.00 each. How much more money does Jackie need to spend to be eligible for free shipping?
Answer:
The shampoo and conditioner cost $10 each so 2 * $10 = $20.00. 3 bottles of lotion cost $6.00 each so 3 * $6 = $18.00. So far she has spent $20 + $18 = $38.00. You need to spend $50.00 for free shipping and she has spent $38.00 already so she needs to buy $50 - $38 = $12.00 more in products. The answer is 12.
