A. Subtract $0.50 off each bag and then divide by 2.
B. Divide each bag by two, subtract $0.50 off each bag, and then add them together.
C. Add the two bags together, divide by 2, and then subtract by $0.50
D. Subtract $0.50 off the first bag, add them together, and then divide by 2.

Answer 1

Well, in a real-life situation, which discount is implemented first?

Answer 2

I'm not sure, that's the problem I'm having. I think it's C, but I'm not 100% sure.

Answer 3

Well, a coupon is used at the cashier. A discount is on the price, so the 50% off discount comes first

Answer 4

Right, right. So you multiply the total cost of two bags of chips by .50 to get half off that price, then you subtract that by the manufacturer's discount?

Answer 5

If so, then isn't C right?

Answer 6

No, the 50% off goes first, so you add them together and divide by 2

Answer 7

Dont forget, the 50% is the manufacturer discount, which comes first

Answer 8

That's what I said; I said you multiply the TOTAL cost of the chips by .50 to halve it.
