Question

Rachel buys a new television that is on sale for 15% off. She also gets a 5% discount on the sale price plus a $50 mail-in rebate. If the initial price of the television is $3,000, what is the final amount Rachel will pay?

Answer 1

$ 2372.50 is  the final amount that Rachel will have to pay.

Answer 2

The final amount Rachel will pay is:

$ 2372.5

Explanation:

Initial price pf television is: $ 3000

Also, the television is at a sale of 15% off

This means that the television after the offer of 15% is:

`(100-15)%* 3000\\\\=85% of 3000\\\\=2550`

• Hence, the price of television after 15% off=$ 2550

Also, there will be a discount of 5%

• Hence, the price of television after discount is:

`(100-5)\%* 2550\\\\\\=95\%* 2550\\\\=\$\ 2422.5`

Also, there is a$ 50 mail-in rebate.

Hence, the final amount Rachel will pay is:

$ 2372.5

( since, 2422.5-50=2372.5)
