Math help ?

[Brandy Hunter]

Ok I need help here. I hate doing math, and this is giving me a headache, the prices don't seem real enough (then again, I suppose thats the art of couponing)

Ok Zellers has deodorant on sale for 2.49. I have 7 coupons that say ' save 7$ when you buy 3 ' of that brand. I want to use all those coupons, how much in the end will I be paying ?

ok hope this is right LOL

$2.49 x 3 = .47 x 7 = $3.29 for 21.

Thank you very much. I just did more math in the last 5 minutes then i've ever done. Trying to get the most of this deal

CRAP!... didn't read the coupon. Wrong brands.

Don't forget to figure in the taxes. In Ontario, it would work out to:
($2.49 x 3) + 13% HST = $7.47 + $0.97 = 7 x ($8.44 - $7wub3)
= 7 x $1.44 = $10.08 for 21 deos which makes them $0.48 each taxes included.
I think I did the math ok? Someone might want to double check but I always take into account the taxes on taxable items because it can really add up depending on price of item.
