Question

Tyler has coupon for $1.75 off the purchase of 3 jars of gourmet spaghetti sauce. the sauce cost $ 2.95 per jar. how much will tyler spend on the sauce?

Answer 1

First calculate how much Tyler would spend without the coupon.

2.95•3= 8.85.

So he would have spent 8.85 dollars on 3 jars of sauce if he didn't have the coupon.
To find out how much he spent with the coupon:

8.85-1.75= 7.10

So Tyler spent 7.10 dollars on the sauce.
