Question

Find the amount due on a merchandise listed at 2,080 pesos, less discounts of 14% and 6%.

Answer 1

The total amount is given by 2080 pesos.

At discounts of 14% , the discount amount will be

So amount due due to 14%

`2080*(14)/(100)=20.8*14=291.2`

So the amount due due to 14% discount is

`2080-291.2=1788.8\text{Pesos}`

Now at 6% discount we have

`2080*(6)/(100)=20.8*6=124.8`

And abount due will be

`2080-124.8=1955.2\text{pesos}`
