Question

a) Today they are having a clearance sale on already discounted items. If a clearance shampoo item is already onsale at 25% off the regular price of $24.96, and gets and additional 20% off of that sale price, how much will theshampoo sell for?b) is the amount of the final cost of the shampoo more or less than 45% of the regular cost of $24.96? Explain youranswer.

Answer 1

we have that the sale price is:

`24.96\cdot0.75=18.72`

if we get an 20% additional the new price is:

`18.72\cdot0.8=14.976`

so the new price is $14.976

let us calculate the 45% of the regular costs:

`24.96\cdot0.45=11.232`

we can see that it is more than the 45%
