Answer: True. Jim will owe the store $2.25.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Jim goes to the store and buys 6 apples for 25 cents each and 10 bananas for 10 cents each Jim had a 10% off coupon.
We are to check whether the following statement is true of false :
"Jim will owe the store $2.25."
We know that
1 cent = $0.01.
So, 25 cents = $(0.01 × 25) = $0.25,
10 cents = $(0.01 × 10) = $0.1.
That is, the total amount in dollars to be paid by Jim will be
[tex]\$(0.25\times 6+0.1\times 10)=\$(1.5+1)=\$2.5.[/tex]
Since Jim has a coupon of 10% off, so the total amount in dollars that Jim owe to the store is given by
[tex]A\\\\=\$(2.5-10\%\times2.5)\\\\\\=\$(2.5-\dfrac{10}{100}\times2.5)\\\\\\=\$(2.5-0.25)\\\\=\$2.25.[/tex]
Thus, Jim will owe the store $2.25. True.
