Jeanine bought a new pair of hiking boots on sale door 15% off the regular price. if the regular price was $115.00, how much did jeanine pay for the hiking boots

$97.75

Step-by-step explanation:

since its 15% off, the price would be 85% of its original price.

85/100 x $115 = $97.75

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
