Question

Arturo bought some belts online for $73. He used a coupon code to get a 20%

discount. The website also applied a 15% processing fee to the price after the
discount. How much was the processing fee? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The processing fee will cost $8.76

Explanation:

the price after the discount:

20% = 0.2

100% = 1

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

0.8

$73 • 0.8 = $58.4

cost of processing fee:

15% = 0.15

$58.4 • 0.15 = $8.76
