Question

Austin bought some belts online for $26. He used a coupon code to get a 40% discount. The website also applied a 10% processing fee to the price after the discount. How much was the discount, in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

ANSWER : Austin got discount of 8.84 $ and 34% of price of belt.

Step-by-step explanation

Price of belts is $26.

Price of belts after discount of 40% = $15.6

(60% of 26 is 15.6)

Price of belt after processing fee of 10% = 17.16

(110% of 15.6 is 17.16)

Final discount in $ = Price of belt - Price of belt after processing fee

26-17.16=8.84

Final discount in % = (8.84*100)/26 =34%

Answer 2

Answer: the discount in dollars and cents was $10.40.

Step-by-step explanation: Austin bought some belts online for $26. With a 40% discount, the price of the belts is reduced by:

Discount = 40% x $26 = $10.40

So the new price after the discount is:

$26 - $10.40 = $15.60

Then a 10% processing fee is applied to the discounted price of $15.60, so the final price paid by Austin is:

Final price = $15.60 + 10% x $15.60 = $17.16

Therefore, the discount in dollars and cents was $10.40.
