Question: 1 / 400

If Erma buys two sweaters for $50 and $44 during a 25% sale on the second item, what is her total cost?

$79

$81

$83

To calculate the total cost of the sweaters, first determine the cost of the second sweater after applying the 25% discount. The original price of the second sweater is $44.

To find 25% of $44, multiply:

\[

0.25 \times 44 = 11

\]

Next, subtract this discount from the original price of the second sweater:

\[

44 - 11 = 33

\]

Now, add the cost of the first sweater, which is $50, to the discounted price of the second sweater:

\[

50 + 33 = 83

\]

Therefore, the total cost Erma spends on the two sweaters is $83. This calculation confirms that the correct total cost is accurately represented, leading to the conclusion that $83 is the total amount Erma will pay after the discount on the second sweater.
