U want the answer it's 13.75 your welcome.😐
13.75
To find out the cost of each shirt, we need to subtract the amount of change given back to Maria from the total amount she paid.
Maria gave $50.00 to the cashier, and the cashier gave her $8.75 back in change. So, the amount Maria actually paid can be calculated by subtracting $8.75 from $50.00:
$50.00 - $8.75 = $41.25
Now, we know that Maria paid $41.25 in total for three shirts. To find the cost of each shirt, we divide the total amount paid by the number of shirts:
$41.25 ÷ 3 = $13.75
Therefore, each shirt costs $13.75.
Justin picked out 300 dollars worth of clothing (regularly priced) at Mary's Department Store. As part of a promotion, he will flip a fair coin at the cash register. If the coin lands on heads, he will get 40%, percent off of his entire purchase. If the coin lands on tails, he will have to pay the regular price.
Find the expected cost of Justin's shopping spree.
