Question

A stainless steel gas grill is list priced at $495. The manufacturer offers a series discount of 25/20/10 to wholesalers and a 25/20 series discount to retailers. What is the retailers price?

Answer 1

`\text{ \$297}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the retailers price

Firstly, we need to get a single discount percentage that is equivalent to 25/20

Mathematically, we have that as:

`\begin{gathered} (25+20\text{ - (}20*25)(1)/(100)) \\ \\ =\text{ 45 - 5 = 40\%} \end{gathered}`

To get the retailers' price, we simply find 40% of the given price tag, then subtract

Mathematically, that would be:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$495 - (40\% of \$495)} \\ =\text{ \$495 - \$198} \\ =\text{ \$297} \end{gathered}`
