The amount paid for 0.4 pounds of much after deducting $0.50 coupon is $1.58. option B

Discount

  • Cost of each pound of mulch = $5.20
  • Number of pounds of mulch bought = 0.4
  • Coupon = $0.50
  • Cost of 0.4 pounds of mulch = x

Cost of mulch : pounds of mulch

5.20 : 1 = x : 0.4

5.20/1 = x/0.4

5.20 × 0.4 = 1 × x

2.08 = x

Cost of 0.4 pounds of mulch = x = $2.08

Amount paid for 0.4 pounds of much after deducting $0.50 coupon

= $2.08 - $0.50

= $1.58
