Question

Mark bought an electric tablet on sale for 1/4 off the original price of $825.00. He also wanted to use a coupon for 1/5 off the sales price. How much did Mark pay for the tablet?

Answer 1

Mark paid $495 for the tablet.

Explanation:

When on sale, Mark paid 3/4 of the original price, that is;

`(3)/(4)` *825 = 618.75

After coupon discount, he pays 4/5 of the sale price

sale price= 618.75

He therefore pays
`(4)/(5) *618.75` = $495
