Question 22

Shawna is checking out at a large department store and is buying an item that is 20% off. The price of the item before the sale is $43.99. She would also like to use her membership card to get an additional 10% off the sale price.

How much will she end up paying?

What percent off the original price did she pay?

Answer 1

A )she will pay R 31.6752

B) she payed 80%

For A 20÷100 ×43.99÷1

= 878,8÷100

=R8,792

43.99-8.792=35.198 she would have payed this with no 10 percent but with it she payed..

10/100×35.198/1

=351.98/100

3.5198

35.198-3.5198=31.6752

for b just say 100 % - 10%-20% =70%
