Question

A fountain originally costs $100, but it is on sale for 35% off. If a customer buying the fountain has a coupon for $12.00 off of any purchase, what will his final price be on the fountain?

Answer 1

When you have any percent of 100 all you have to do is subtract that amount from 100, so 35% of 100 would be 100-35=65.
Then you have to subtract the $12, 65-12=53.

The final price of the fountain is $53.
