Question

Billy and Julia go to the Sportorama store to buy baseball jerseys. The store is having a sale. If you buy one jersey at the regular price, the second jersey is half price. You must pay full price for the more expensive jersey. Billy wants to buy a jersey for thirty five dollars and ninety-eight cents. Julia wants to buy a jersey for forty-nine dollars and ninety-six cents. Julia suggests they but the jerseys together and each of them pay half the total cost. How much does each person save by following Julia’s suggestion?

Together they pay 49.96 + 35.98/2 = 67.95
so each pays half of that. now finish it off.
