Question

How much is saved by buying a freezer marked at $ 600 with a discount of 20 % rather than one marked at $ 600 with a discount of 10 % then 10 % ?

Answer 1

Well, if the 600 dollar freezer been reduced by 10% then it would now cost 540 dollars. If it was reduced by 20% then it would cost 480 dollars.

Explanation:

600 x 0.10= 60

600 - 60= 540

600 x 0.20= 120

600 - 120= 480

Answer 2

$60

Explanation:

Find out how much is 1% of the price.

100% = 600

1% = 600 ÷ 100 = 6

Find out 10% and 20%

10% = 6 x 10 = 60

20% = 6 x 20 = 120

Find the difference.

120 - 60 = 60
