Nyla buys a birthday present for Nayelly. She finds a sweater that is originally $32 and a pair of socks that is $5.50. But the entire store is having a sale for 40% off! How much will Nyla pay for the sweater and the pair of socks

$22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

$32.00 *0.60=19.20

$5.50 * 0.60=3.30

19.20+3.30=$22.50

**I multiplied bu 0.60, because full price is 100% or 1.0,  but minus the 40% discount you are paying 60% or 0.60***

$22.50

Step-by-step explanation

1) add $32 and $5.50 to get $37.50

2) Multiply $37.50 by 0.6 (or 60%) to get $22.50.

You multiply by 0.6 rather than 0.4 because it is a simplified version of multiplying by 40% then subtracting it from the total.
