Question

Customer: "I just purchased 9 products from you at $44.00 each. I just realized mycompany offers a 20% discount on all of your products. Can you tell me what my newtotal should be?"$79.20$316.80$376.00$416.00$475,20

Answer 1

Consider that $44.00 is the price of each of the 9 products.

If a discount of 20% is applied on each product, then its price becomes,

`\begin{gathered} =44-(20\text{ percent of }44) \\ =44-((20)/(100)*44) \\ =44-8.8 \\ =35.2 \end{gathered}`

Now, the total price of the 9 products after applying the discount, is calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} =35.2+35.2+35.2+35.2+35.2+35.2+35.2+35.2+35.2 \\ =9*35.2 \\ =316.8 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the new total of the 9 products that the customer has purchased is $316.8
