Question

Answer 1

Answer: He would pay $62.37 for it on blockbuster Saturday.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Original price of sweater = $99

Discount on blockbuster Saturday = 30%

Additional discount on sweater = 10%

So, According to question,

`Net\ Price=Price* (100-Discount)/(100)\\\\\text{As there are 2 successive discounts }\\\\So,\\\\Net\ Price=Price* (100-D_1)/(100)*(100-D_2)/(100)`

`99* (100-30)/(100)* (100-10)/(100)\\\\=99* (70)/(100)* (90)/(100)\\\\=\$62.37`

Hence, he would pay $62.37 for it on blockbuster Saturday.
