Question

2) Mrs. Francisco bought a gallon of alcohol worth P650.00 and 2 boxe of face mask worth P225.00. The sales lady gave her a 15% discount in the total amount How much was her change if she paid P1,000.00​

Answer 1

First add the two item prices, giving you 875.00. Then do 0.15 x 875.00, giving you 131.25. That's 15% of the total amount. Then do 875.00 - 131.25 for the discount, leaving you with 743.75. Finally, 1000.00 - 743.75 = P256.25

Answer 2

P65.00.

Explanation:

first, we need to compute the total cost of the items before the discount:

Cost of gallon of alcohol = P650.00

Cost of 2 boxes of face masks = P225.00 x 2 = P450.00

Total cost before discount = P650.00 + P450.00 = P1,100.00

Next, we need to compute the amount of the discount:

Discount = 15% of P1,100.00 = 0.15 x P1,100.00 = P165.00

The total amount to be paid after the discount is the original cost minus the discount:

Total amount to be paid = P1,100.00 - P165.00 = P935.00

Finally, we can compute Mrs. Francisco's change by subtracting the total amount to be paid from the amount she paid:

Change = P1,000.00 - P935.00 = P65.00

Therefore, Mrs. Francisco's change is P65.00.
