Sammy bought a car and got a discount of 2/5 off the original price of $30,000. How much did Sammy pay for the car after the discount?

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. $100

B. 29%

Explanation:

A. To find total price of the items Sammy bought we will add the price of shoes and jacket after discount.

Let us find price of shoes after 25% discount.

`\text{Price of shoes after discount}=40-((25)/(100)*40)`

`\text{Price of shoes after discount}=40-((1)/(4)*40)`

`\text{Price of shoes after discount}=40-10=30`

Therefore, price of shoes after discount is $30.

Now let us find price of jacket after 30% discount.

`\text{Price of jacket after discount}=100-((30)/(100)*100)`

`\text{Price of jacket after discount}=100-30`

`\text{Price of jacket after discount}=70`

Therefore, price of jacket after discount is $70.

Now let us add both prices to find the total price of the items.

`\text{Total price of items}=30+70`

`\text{Total price of items}=100`

Therefore, the total price of the items bought by Sammy is $100.

B. To find the percent discount which Sammy got on his total purchases, we will use percent change formula.

`\text{Percent change}=\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Original value}}* 100`

Total price without discount= 100+40=140

`\text{Discount percent}=(140-100)/(140)* 100`

`\text{Discount percent}=(40)/(140)* 100`

`\text{Discount percent}=0.2857142857142857* 100`

`\text{Discount percent}=28.57142857142857\approx 29`

Therefore, Sammy got approximately 29% discount on his total purchases.
