Your neighbor agreed to trudge through the snow to buy snow shovels for 10 families on your street! The store owner gave him a discount of $2 for each snow shovel, but it still cost your neighbor $85. Your family surprised two of your neighbors and paid for their shovels along with their own. How much does your family owe your neighbor for the three shovels?

Answer:

$17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are assuming that snow shovels for 10 families means 10 shovel in total. If the manager is offering $2 discount per shovel, and there are ten shovels, then that is a 20 dollar discount. 85, the cost after discount, plus 20 is 105. 105/10=10.5. Your family is offering two pay for two shovels, so the total for you would come to $21, but there is the $2 discount, so subtract 4 dollars, and you have $17.
