To find out how much Lyell will save using his 20% off coupon on a classical music CD priced at $23.99, we can calculate it as follows:
-
Calculate the savings from the 20% coupon: \[ 23.99 \times 0.20 = 4.798 \] Rounding this to two decimal places, Lyell saves approximately $4.80 with the coupon.
-
Next, we can check the 15% off sale for comparison, although the question specifically asks for the 20% savings. For the 15% off, the calculation would be: \[ 23.99 \times 0.15 = 3.5985 \] Rounding this to two decimal places, the 15% off would give a savings of approximately $3.60.
-
Since Lyell has the 20% off coupon, we focus only on that. Therefore, the amount Lyell saves when he uses his 20% off coupon is: \[ \text{Savings} = 4.80 \]
None of the given choices match this value directly, so let's check for possible misunderstandings or if we should consider any other factors.
Let’s confirm the math for clarity:
- 20% off on $23.99: \( 23.99 \times 0.20 = 4.798 \) (about $4.80)
- 15% off on $23.99: \( 23.99 \times 0.15 = 3.60 \)
Neither option correlates with the choices given, which seem significantly higher. Hence, it looks like the answer we calculated isn't represented directly within the available selections.
If it were to compare different discounts together, we might consider what the price would be at the end of both discounts, but the question’s focus appears specifically on "how much will Lyell save," which leads us back to just the available coupon savings on the item properly.
Thus, based on strictly following the question:
- The correct answer for savings using the coupon exclusively on the mentioned price is $4.80.
Given that my calculations diverge from your choices, please verify the price or discounts or if a detail was missed. Let me know if there’s anything more to interpret!
