Tanya spent $8.15 on 5 cans of tuna. She used a coupon that gave her 35¢ off each can. What was the price of a can of tuna without the coupon? Enter your answer in the box.

Respuesta :

Each can of tuna would cost $1.98 because you would do .35x5 then your total plus 8.15 and that would be the total without coupons then you would divide your grand total by 5 for the exact price of one can without the coupon

Answer: $1.98


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total amount Tanya spent on cans of tuna = $8.15

Also, she used a coupon that gave her 35 cents off each can.

Therefore, The total discount on 5 cans =[tex]5\times35=175\ cents[/tex]

Since, $1=100 cents or 1 cent= 0.01 dollar

Therefore, the total discount on 5 cans=[tex]0.01\times175=\$1.75[/tex]

Now, the price of 5 cans of tuna without the coupon=[tex]\$8.15+1.75=\$9.90[/tex]

The price of a can of tuna without the coupon=[tex]\frac{9.90}{5}=\$1.98[/tex]
