Question

A used car is listed for sale at $9000. The price of the car is reduced by 20% for a quick sale. Then it is reduced by 20% of the sale price. What is the final price of the car?

Answer 1

7,000

Explanation:

Answer 2

$5,760

Explanation:

Start by converting 20% to a decimal, by dividing by 100 = 0.20

Then, multiply 9,000 x 0.20 = 1,800 to get the amount taken off by the sale.

9,000 - 1,800 = 7,200, the first sale price.

Multiply 7,200 by 0.20 = 1,440 to get the amount of the second discount.

7,200 - 1,440 = $5,760, the final price of the car.
