Question

Tim bought a book that was marked down to 50% of its original price. He used a coupon to save an additional 40% off of the sale price. If the book's original price was $12.00, what was the final price Tim paid?

Answer 1

The answer is 2.40

Step-by-step explanation: That is the answer because 50 percent into 12 is 6 and 40 percent into 6 is 2.4 = 2.40

Answer 2

The answer would be $3.60

Explanation:

50% of $12 is $6. Take 40% off of that and you get $3.60.
