Question

A website sells a dress at £50 and shoes at £43.
The website has an offer:
Buy a dress and shoes together and get
1
3
off the price.
There is also a shipping and handling charge of £7 added at the end, after any discount.
If Ruth buys both a dress and shoes, how much will she actually pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

£69

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

• Cost of dress = £50
• Cost of shoes = £43
• Discount offer:  Buy a dress and shoes together and get 1/3 off the price.
• Shipping & handling charge = £7 (added after the discount is applied)

Cost of buying a dress and shoes:

⇒ £50 + £43 = £93

Discount:

⇒ 1/3 of £93 = 1/3 × 93 = £31

Cost of goods after discount is applied:

⇒ £93 - £31 = £62

Addition of shipping and handling:

⇒ £62 + £7 = £69

Therefore, Ruth will pay £69 if she buys a dress and shoes.
