Karen wants to buy jeans at a store that is giving $10 off everything. The tag on the jeans is marked 50% off. The original price is $49.98

Here are the steps to the problem

Equation is y=49.98-10 times 50% or. 5

When the y is equal to the final price

the price is

$19.99

Ok, so the first thing we need to do is subtract 50% of 49.98. We know 50% of 49.98 is 24.99, so lets subtract. 49.98 - 24.99 = 24.99. Then we need to take another $10 off the price. That leaves the final price to be $14.99
