Question

A $129.50 stereo is discounted 40% last month. This month the sale price is discounted 60%. What is the new sale price this month?

Answer 1

60% discount on $129.50 stereo is:

`(60)/(100)*129.50=\text{ \$}77.7`

This implies that $77.7 has been taken off from the actual price.

Hence, the new sale price this month is:

`129.50-77.7=\text{ \$51.8}`
