Question

. Shelly buys a dining room table that costs $950. The store has discounted the table 30%. She has a 25% off coupon to use after the store discount. How much does Shelly pay for the table?​

Answer 1

$498.75

Explanation:

You multiply 950(.3) because you need to change the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal to the left two places. you should get 285. this is how much gets taken off

then subtract 950-285 because you need to find your remaining price. you should get 665

now, multiply 665(.25) because that is the percent that is being taken off. you should get 166.25

subtract 665-166.25 and you get 498.75
