Question 153276: Donna uses a 10% off coupon at her local nursery. After buying azaleas, bougainvillea, and bags of potting soil, her checkout price before tax is $217.95. How much would she have paid without the coupon?
Answer by jojo14344(1513) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember:
for the stuff Donna bought
Putting into eqn less 10%:
P-10%P=$217.95+tax ---->
*tax is negligible in this case since we're not on the total pay out price.
Continuing,

---------> PRICE WITHOUT 10% COUPON
Thank you,
Jojo
