the price of a t-shirt is $20, but you have a coupon that lowers the price by 10%. What is the price of the t-shirt after using the coupon?a.$2b.$10c.$18d.$20



Answer :

ANSWER

[tex]C\text{. }\$18[/tex]

EXPLANATION

To find the price of the t-shirt after using the coupon, find 10% of the price of the shirt and subtract that from the price of the shirt.

10% of the price is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{100}*20 \\ \\ \$2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, subtract that from the price of the shirt. That is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \$20-\$2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\$18 \end{gathered}[/tex]

That is the price of the shirt after the coupon is used. The answer is option C.
