During the Christmas season, a store offers a sale. You buy one item for the regular price then you get 60% discount on a second item of equal or less value. If you buy two items with regular prices of $30 and $20 by what percent will the total cost of two items reduce during the sale?

Answer:

24%

Explanation:

Given: Regular price of two item is $30 and $20.

60% discount provided on second item.

Now, lets find out discount provided on second item.

∴Discount provided =
(60)/(100) * 20 = \$ 12

Amount paid for second item = Regular price - discount provided

∴Amount paid on second item=
20 - 12= $8

Total amount paid for two item= Regular price of first item + discounted price of second item.

∴Total amount paid for two item=
30+8= \$ 38

Next, lets find out the percent of reduced total cost of two item.


(reduced\ amount)/(total\ regular\ price) * 100


(12)/(50) * 100 = 24\%

∴ By
24\% the total cost of two item reduce during sale.
