Question

Grace has a coupon for twenty percent off lawn and garden supplies. She plans to use the coupon for a wheelbarrow purchase. If the sticker price on the wheelbarrow she wants is fifty-three dollars, what will Grace's discount be?

Answer 1

Let x = her discount and y equal her new total
53.00 *.20= x
53.00-x=y

Answer 2

53.00*.2=10.6
53.00-10.6=42.4
So she pays $42.4 for the wheel barrow.

Answer 3

(buzzzer) WRONG…10.60 is correct
