Answer: you can afford to buy both
as $1.75+$1.25 adds up to $3 leaving you $2 to spare.
Step-by-step explanation-
Mystery book: 25% of 7.00= 1.75 ($1.75)
Science Fiction: 20% of 6.25=1.25 ($1.25)
Answer:
You can afford the science fiction book.
Step-by-step explanation:
How to get the amount for the 25% coupon:
$7.00 × 0.25 = $1.75
To get the price of the mystery book using the coupon:
$7.00 - $1.75 = $5.25
The mystery book will cost $5.25.
How to get the price of the 20% coupon:
$6.25 × 0.20 = $1.25
To get the price of the science fiction book using the coupon:
$6.25 - 1.25 = $5.00
The science fiction book will cost $5.00.
You can afford to buy the science fiction book because you have $5.00 and that is the price of the book. The mystery book costs $5.25 and you only have $5, which means that you don't have enough money to buy it.
