Question

Luna purchased a computer at the list price of ₱56,000, less 30% and 20%. How much must Luna pay for the computer?

Answer 1

There are two disccount applied to this computer, the first one is 30%. To calculate its value, we need to multiply the original price by the fraction that represents 30%

`\text{discount}1=56000\cdot(30)/(100)=16800`

The first discount was 16,800. To determine the price after this, we need to subtract the listed price by the discount 1, this is done below:

`\text{price}2=56000-16800=39200`

Then we need to calculate the second discount, which was equal to 20%.

`\begin{gathered} \text{discount}2=39200\cdot(20)/(100)=7840 \\ \end{gathered}`

The final price is the subtraction between the price 2 and the discount 2, we have:

`\text{ final price}=39200-7840=31360`

The final price is 31,360.
