Question

Erica’s family is moving away from California. They decided to have a moving sale and sell each item for 70% off the price they originally paid for it. The sofa had an original price of $799, and the love seat had an original price of $549. What is the total cost of both items after the discount?

Answer 1

Find the sale price by multiplying the original price by 70% then add the two prices together to get the total.

799 x 0.70 = 559.30

549 x 0.70 = 384.30

Total: 559.30 + 384.30 = $943.60
