Respuesta :

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Addy had 20% off coupon.

           The coupon took $8.25 off of the shirt price.

Lets assume the original cost of shirt be "x".

We know Addy had 20% off coupon, which help to reduce the price of shirt by $8.25.

∴ We can form an equation to know the original price of shirt.

⇒[tex]\frac{20}{100} \times x= \$ 8.25[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{1}{5} \times x= \$ 8.25[/tex]

Multiplying both side by 5

⇒[tex]x= 8.25\times 5[/tex]

∴ [tex]x= \$ 41.25[/tex]

Hence, The original cost price of shirt was $41.25.

Next, finding the price paid by Addy for her new shirt by reducing coupon discount from the cost of shirt.

Price paid by Addy for her new shirt= [tex]\$ 41.25- \$ 8.25= \$ 33[/tex]

Hence, Addy paid $33 for her new shirt.
