Answer:

Your new cost would be $47.60

Step-by-step explanation:

A rain jacket at the store costs $56.00

You have a 15% off coupon.

The discount will be = 15% of $56.00

                                 =  [tex]\frac{15}{100}[/tex] × 56.00

                                 = 0.15 × 56.00 = $8.40

You are eligible to the discount of $8.40 as you have 15% off coupon.

So your new cost will be = $56.00 - $8.40 = $47.60

$38.00 is wrong answer.

Your new cost would be $47.60
