A pool manager balances the pH level of a pool. The price of a bucket of chlorine tablets is $90, and the price of a pH test kit is $11. The manager uses a coupon that applies a 40% discount to the total cost of the two items. How much money does the pool manager pay for each item?

Answer:

The chlorine tablets are $36 and the pH test kit is $4.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

So what I first did was add 90+11 (because $90 for the chlorine tablets and $11 for the pH kit). The answer you should get is 101.  From their I did 101 multiplied by 40% or 101 multiplied by .40 (40% and 0.40 are the same thing). You now get $40.4.  

Now I did 90·40%. I got $36

Then I did 11·40%. I got 4.4

I added them up and got $40.4 which was my new price so now we know that the chlorine tablets are $36 and the pH test kit is $4.40.
