Answer 1

$769.38

Explanation:

Original price: $1249

100% - 30% = 70%

A 30% discount means that you pay 70% of the amount.

Apply a 30% discount: 0.70 * $1249 = $874.30

100% - 12% = 88%

A 12% discount means that you pay 88% of the amount.

Apply a 12% discount: 0.88 * $874.30 = $769.384

Answer: $769.38

Answer 2

$769.38

Explanation:

First, find the cost with the 30% off original price:

1249(0.7)

= 874.3

Now, find the cost with the 12% discount off sale price:

874.3(0.88)

= 769.38

So, Mr Hanson would pay $769.38 before tax
