Question

You buy clothing at a sale. You buy sneakers at 2/3 of their original price of $60, a sweater at 7/10 of its original price of $35, and a jacket at 5/6 of its original price of $45. Answer each question and show all your work.

a. How much money did you spend?
b. How much money did you save?
c. What fraction of the total original price did you save?


Help on figureing this out?

Answer 1

2/3 * 60 = 120/3 = $40 for the sneakers. You saved $20.

Do the same for the other two purchases.

I'll be glad to check your answers.

Answer 2

You buy sneakers at 2/3 of their original prioce of $60 = $40

A sweater at 7/10 of its oreginal price of $35 = 24.5

And a jacket at 5/6 of its oreginal price of $45 = $37.5

So you spent $ 102

Saved (origianl cost - buying cost) ( 60+35+45) - (102) = $38

The fraction is 38/140 simplify to 19/70

IS this all right?

Answer 14

were all here just to cheat on the conexxus math 6 a fraction test thing

Answer 15

this is a bruh moment here, its wrong its not 38/140 makes no sense what so ever, its 68/140. this is probably why you got it wrong.

Answer 16

take the $60 and multiply it by the fraction given 2/3 and you get 2*60=120, 120/3=$40
You do the same for all the others and add them up to answer a.
35*7/10=$24.5, 45*5/6=$37.5 Total=$72
Then add up the prices without multiplying by the fractions given. Then subtract what you got for part a from it.
60+35+45=$140-$72=$68
What fraction of the total did ........68/140

Answer 24

38 is the correct answer, as you are supposed to add the original cost to the reduced cost. So it would be 140 - 102, which equals 38.

Answer 25

So it is 38/140. Not 68/140.
