Question

A TV's regular price is $349. It is on

clearance for 30% off, and a customer uses
a 15% off coupon after that. What is the
final cost of the TV before sales tax?

Answer 1

First just do $349 times .70 to get 244.3 because .70 +.30 =1 so 100% of the price. Next take the 244.3 and multiply it by .85 and get 207.655 and round to $207.66.

Answer 2

rounded is $207.66

Explanation:

you start by doing 349(0.30) which would be 104.7

349-104.7=244.3

next you do 244.3(.15)=36.645

244.3-36.645= $207.655
