Question

Heather wants to purchase a pet from her local pet store. The pet store is offering 50% off rare exotic parrots. The original purchase price of a parrot is $956.50. Heather has a coupon for 10% off her entire purchase. How much will she pay if she also purchases a birdcage for $47.05?

Answer 1

Answer:$52.53

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find how much it is for 50% this is how you find it 50 /100 =

x / $956.50 I use a trick ,you multiply the percent (50%) with $956.50 so you get $47825 and you divide it by 100% and you get $478.25 which is the amount for parrots only .then you add the cost of the birdcage with the bird cost . Then you use the same trick to find the total amount with the coupon you can use the same trick I used and will get $52.53.

Answer 2

She will have to pay $477.48 to get the birdcage and the parrot.
