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

The correct answer is: $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.
