Answer :

Answer:

The pool manager pay for each item is $60.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pool manager balances the ph level of a pool.

The price of a bucket of chlorine tablets is $90, and the price of a ph test kit is $11.

The manager uses a coupon that applies a 40% discount to the total cost of the two items.

Now, to find the money the pool manager pay for each item.

The price of a bucket of  chlorine tablets is = $90.

The price of a ph test kit = $11.

So, to get the total price of both items we add both prices:

[tex]90+11=\$101.[/tex]

Total cost of two items = $101.

As, given a coupon that applies a 40% discount to the total cost of the two items.

Now, to get the total cost by applying discount:

[tex]101-40\%\ of\ 101[/tex]

[tex]=101-\frac{40}{100} \times 101[/tex]

[tex]=101-0.40\times 101[/tex]

[tex]=101-40.4[/tex]

[tex]=\$60.6.[/tex]

Thus, the pool manager pay = $60.6.

Therefore, the pool manager pay for each item is $60.6.
