Hi,

It looks like you're on the right path! You need to look at the different discount for the 2 shops : for active shop, Boris will get 50% off the 2nd item (so he will have one at full price and one at half price) and for pro-sports, he gets every single item at 25% off. If you need to use the fractions to calculate the answer (which I think you can simply use the decimals), you need to transform the pourcentages in fractions : 25% is 25 on ... 100!

After that, you need to calculate how much is every item he needs (4 warm shirts and 2 pairs of boots) and look if, by adding every single item, the cost in one of the stores is less than 240$.

I hope it answers your question! Here is 1 link that will help you understand how to transform pourcentages into fractions.
