Respuesta :

Answer:

$10.45

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to add up the total price before the sale and after then subtract

18.95 + 7.99 = $26.94

8.99 + 7.50 = $16.49

26.94 - 16.49 = $10.45

Answer:

$10.45

Step-by-step explanation:

                            Original Price         Sale Price

T-shirt                        $18.95                $8.99

Sandals                     $7.99                  $7.50

You want to buy one T-shirt and one pair of sandals

Total cost of one T-shirt and one pair of sandals according to original price:

= [tex]18.95+7.99[/tex]

= [tex]26.94[/tex]

Total cost of one T-shirt and one pair of sandals according to sale price:

= [tex]8.99+7.50[/tex]

= [tex]16.49[/tex]

Now you will save by waiting until next week to purchase the items:

=Original price of one T-shirt and one pair of sandals- sale price of one T-shirt and one pair of sandals

=26.94-16.49

=10.45

Hence you will save $10.45 by waiting until next week to purchase the items
