Question

a bicycle shop is offering a 15% discount on a bike that has an original price of 275. there is an additional 5% discount off the sale price. what is the final price of the bike, including both discounts?

Answer 1

Explanation:

• the original price= 275,

275 → 100 %

i) find the price with the 15 % discount

100% - 15% = 85 %

if, 275 → 100 %

100 % → 275

1% → 275 / 100

85 % → (275/100) * 85

= 233. 75

ii) find the add. 5% of the :

sale price = 233. 75

add. discount = 5%

= 5/ 100 * 233.75

= 11.6875

iii) subract the 5% discount from the sale price.

final price = 233. 75 - 11.6875

= 222. 0625

hope this helps you!
