Question

Kalesha is purchasing a laptop. The original price of the laptop is $900. The store is offering 10% off on all computers. Kalesha has a $100 gift card. How should Kalesha determine the amount she will pay for her computer?

Answer 1

take 10% of her laptop then subtract 100 from that

Answer 2

Answer: Kalesha should pay $710 for her computer.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Original price of the laptop = $900

Discount % = 10%

Amount of discount would be

`(10)/(100)* 900\\\\=0.1* 900\\\\=\$90`

Amount she received in gift card = $100

So, Amount she will pay for her computer would be

`900-90-100\\\\=900-190\\\\=\$710`

Hence, Kalesha should pay $710 for her computer.
