Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

To find out how much Jake paid for the clothes, we need to calculate the total cost of the shirts and the jeans after applying any discounts.

2. Relevant Concepts

Let's denote:

  • Cost of each shirt = ₱480
  • Number of shirts = 2
  • Cost of jeans before discount = ₱1600
  • Discount on jeans = ₱200

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. Calculate the total cost of the shirts: Total cost of shirts=Cost of each shirt×Number of shirts=480×2=960 \text{Total cost of shirts} = \text{Cost of each shirt} \times \text{Number of shirts} = 480 \times 2 = ₱960

  2. Calculate the cost of the jeans after the discount: Cost of jeans after discount=Cost of jeansDiscount=1600200=1400 \text{Cost of jeans after discount} = \text{Cost of jeans} - \text{Discount} = 1600 - 200 = ₱1400

  3. Calculate the total amount paid for the clothes: Total amount paid=Total cost of shirts+Cost of jeans after discount=960+1400=2360 \text{Total amount paid} = \text{Total cost of shirts} + \text{Cost of jeans after discount} = 960 + 1400 = ₱2360

4. Verify and Summarize

We have calculated each component step by step, ensuring accuracy in both the shirt and jeans costs. The amount Jake paid for the shirts totals ₱960 and after the discount on the jeans, he pays ₱1400 for them. Therefore, the total amount Jake spent on clothes is confirmed as ₱2360.

Final Answer

Jake paid a total of ₱2360 for the clothes.
