A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $15, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$12.75
$21.00
$2.25
$27.75

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $15 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$15 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$225}{100} \) = $2.25 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$15.00 + ($15.00 - $2.25)
$15.00 + $12.75
$27.75

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 71 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
5 vans
12 vans
6 vans
10 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{71}{15} \) = 4\(\frac{11}{15}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.
