Question

A pair of $120 shoes was discounted 20 percent. A customer had a coupon for an additional $5 off. What was the final price of the shoes?

$90
$91
$92
$96

Answer 1

$91

Explanation:

Find the percentages needed:

10% of $120 = $12 (either break it into 2 parts and do the 10% + 10%)

20% of $120 = $24 (or just do the percentage off the item straight away)

Subtract the amount from the percentage from the item:

$120 - $24 = $96

$96 - $5 (additional) = $91

Answer = $91

Answer 2

Answer:Since a discount of 20%. The price will be: (100% - 20%) = 80%

80% of $120

= (80/100) * 120

= 0.80 * 120 = 96

=$96

Since there is coupon $5 off

= $96 - $5

= $91

Final price = $91
