Question

The original price of a

42-inch TV is $399. An
electronics store is
offering the TV for
15% off of the original
price plus a $25
discount. How much
will the TV cost after
both the sale and
discount?
A) $314.15
B) $40.00
C) $326.85
D) $359.00


PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A) 314.15

Answer 2

$314.15 (A)

Explanation:

We start by subtracting the 15% discount. 15% can be represented by 0.15, and 100% can be represented by 1. So therefore, the new price of the TV will be 1-0.15 = 0.85 of the original price using just the 15% discount. Therefore, 0.85 x 399 = $339.15. We then take this number and subtract another $25 to get $314.15
