Question

A tablet computer listed at an original price of $250 is placed on sale for
20% off the original price. Bob, an employee of the store, gets an
additional 30% off the sale price. What price would Bob pay to purchase
the tablet computer?
$100
$125
$200
$140

Answer 1

$140

Explanation:

250 decrease 20% =

250 × (1 - 20%) = 250 × (1 - 0.2) = 200

200 decrease 30% =

200 × (1 - 30%) = 200 × (1 - 0.3) = 140
