Question

Robert bought a pair of shorts online for $34. He used a coupon code to get a 10% discount. The website also applied a 10% processing fee to the price after the discount. How much did Robert pay, in the end? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Robert paid $33.66 in the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Robert paid in the end, we can follow these steps:

Calculate the discount by multiplying the original price ($34) by the discount rate (10%):

$34 times 0.10

= $3.40.

Subtract the discount from the original price to get the discounted price:

$34 - $3.40

= $30.60.

Calculate the processing fee by multiplying the discounted price ($30.60) by the processing fee rate (10%):

$30.60 times 0.10

= $3.06.

Add the processing fee to the discounted price to get the final amount paid by Robert:

$30.60 + $3.06

= $33.66.

So, Robert paid $33.66 in the end.
