The book store is having a sale where all hardcover books are 20% off. Jamie also has a coupon for 15% off any fiction book. Jamie buys a hardcover fiction book that is priced $32.99. How much will Jamie save by buying the book on sale and using the coupon?
Step \(1\)
Find the cost of the book on sale with \(20\)% off
\(32.99*.80=26.392\ dollars\)
Step \(2\)
Find the cost of the book with \(15\)% off using the coupon
\(26.392*.85=22.43\ dollars\)
Step \(3\)
Find the amount of money that Jamie saved
\(32.99-22.43=10.56\ dollars\)
therefore
the answer is
\(10.56\ dollars\)
