• A. 32.3$
• B. 37$
• C. 36$
• D. 35$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 32.3$

The reduced price for the first shirt $=20-(20\times 15\%)$

$=20-(20\times \frac{15}{100})$

$=20-3$

$=\$17$

The reduced price for the second shirt. The $10\%$ discount will be on the already reduced price.

$\therefore$ The price of the second shirt $=17-(17\times 10\%)$

$=17-(17\times \frac{10}{100})$

$=17-1.7$

$=\$15.3$

$\Rightarrow$ Total price of two shirts $=\$17+\$15.3=\$32.3$
