Question

Appliances at discount city are on sale for 70% of original price. Eli has a coupon for an 18% discount on the sale price. If the original price of microwave oven is $500, how much will Eli pay for the oven before tax?

Answer 1

$500 x 0.3 = 150 - sale price
$150 x 0.18 = 27 - discount on sale price
150 - 27 = 123
$123

Hope this is correct!

Answer 2

70% plus 18% =88%
88% of $500 = $440
$500 minus $440 = $60
Eli will pay $60 for the oven before tax.

Hope this helped!
