Question

You buy clothing at a sale. You buy sneakers at 2/3 of the original price of $60, a sweater at 7/10 of its original price of $35, and a jacket at 5/6 of the original price $45. Answer and show all of your work.

a. How much money did you spend?

B. How much money did you save?

C. What fraction of the total original price did you save?

Answer 1

2/3 x 60 + 7/10 x 35 + 5/6 x 45=

= 40 +24.5 + 37.5

= $102 total spent

original prices = 60+35+45 = $140

savings of 140-102 = $38

fraction of original price saved = 38/140 = 19/70, what a deal, a real steal

Unless they raised the "original prices" more than the discounts, then you lost money, got suckered in by deceptive advertising
