Question

A guitar originally costs $600, but it is on sale for 45% off. If a customer buying the guitar has a coupon for $30.00 off of any purchase, what will her final price be on the guitar?

Answer 1

With the 45% off sale, the guitar price would be deducted by $270, which would result in it being $330.
And with the $30 coupon, the final price, not including tax, would be $300,

600 • 0.45 = 330
330 - 30 = 300

Answer 2

The answer is $300.

Explanation:

The original price of the guitar is $600 and if we apply the 45% off, the final price of the guitar will be the 55% of its original price:

600*55%=
`600*(55)/(100)= 330`

Then, the customer has a coupon for $30.00 off, so we have to subtract this coupon to the final cost of the guitar:

$330-$30=$300

Generally, first we have to apply the discount on the original price and the we can use the coupon.

Finally, the customer has to pay $300 for the guitar.
