Question

A $55 pair of shoes was discounted 15 percent, making the sale price $46.75. The discounted price was then discounted again by 10 percent. Explain how you would find the final price of the shoes.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The final price will be the discounted price multiplied by 100% — 10%. I could also multiply the discounted price by 0.10 and subtract that amount from the discounted price to get the final price.

Answer 2

46.75 - 0.10(46.75) = 46.75 - 4.675 = 42.075 rounds to 42.08
ur simply taking ur discounted price of $ 46.75 and subtracting 10% of 46.75....leaving u with a final price of 42.08
