Input data

Last week

Coffee for $12.80

Current week

15 % Discount

How cost 2 3/4 pounds

Procedure

The total cost of coffee would be

$2\frac{3}{4}\cdot12.80=35.2$

Now let's apply the discount

d = discount

$\begin{gathered} d=35.2\cdot15\text{ \%} \\ d=5.28 \end{gathered}$

The final cost would be

$\begin{gathered} C=35.2-5.28 \\ C=29.92 \end{gathered}$

The tatoal cost would be $ 29.92
