Question

2. A video game was listed for $55. It went on sale for 15% off. When the sequel was announced, it was further discounted 20%). What is the current price for the video game?

Answer 1

The initial price of the video game was %55.

Given that a discount of 15% is offered, so the price becomes,

`\begin{gathered} P_1=(1-(15)/(100))*\text{ 55} \\ P_1=(85)/(100)*55 \\ P_1=46.75 \end{gathered}`

Consider that a further discount of 20% is offered, then the final price will become,

`\begin{gathered} P_2=(1-(20)/(100))* P_1 \\ P_2=((80)/(100))*46.75 \\ P_2=37.4 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the current price for the video game is $37.4
