Question

A store purchases televisions from a factory for $\$$87.89 each. The store normally sells one of these televisions for 225$\%$ of the factory cost, but a store coupon gives 25$\%$ off this selling price. Ignoring tax, how much does a customer with this coupon pay for the television? Express your answer in dollars to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

148.31

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal price in dollars is (87.89)(2.25), and the 25% discount corresponds to multiplying this result by 0.75. Carrying out the arithmetic, the price is (87.89)(2.25)(0.75) = 148.31.

Answer 2

150$

Step-by-step explanation:

= 0.75(87.89×2.25)

=148.31

To the nearest hundredth is equal to 150 dollars
