Waylon is back-to-school shopping with his mom at a large department store. He's picked out the following items: 3 pair of pants for $87 total, 4 t-shirts
for $48 total, 1 backpack for $35, 1 hoodie for $26, 1 pair of shoes for $37.
When they get to the register, they see this sign:

Waylon's Purchase will cost $198.05, and section B depends.

Explanation: Section A is 85% of 233 since thats the total, making the answer to section A $198.05. The answer to section B depends because if he wants more school supplies, then yes, he would want to buy more things for better deals. But if he’s on a budget, then he wouldn't want to spend as much money since saving 20% on something over $300 is more than saving 15% on something over $200.

B, you would save 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

87+48+35+26+37 = 233

and its over $200, so that means you would save 15%

the reporter's right

step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = .25 / 25%

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
