If the price of a bag of cherries is $5 when the price of a bag of olives is $7, how much would Jordyn pay for buying 50 bags of each fruit and a 10% discount? Let's answer step by step:
At a 10 percent discount, Jordyn will pay 10 / 100% * $5 = $.50 less for a bag of cherries. To buy one of the cherries at a 10% discount Jordyn will pay $5 - $0.50 = $4.50. The cost of buying 50 bags of cherries at the 10% discount is 50 * 4.50 = $225. Also, at a 10% discount, Jordyn will pay 10 / 100 * $7 = $0.70 less for a bag of olives. The price of a bag of olives at a 10% discount is $7 - $0.70 = $6.3. To buy 50 bags of olives Jordyn will pay $6.3 * 50 = $315. The total cost of buying 50 bags of each fruit at a 10% discount is $315 + $225 = $540. The answer: 540.
