Question

Jinkie's Jumpin' Junkfood's "Jammin' Jazzy Candy Bar normally sells for $15.

Right now they are selling at o 40% discount. Oliver also has a coupon that allows
him to take 30% off the sale price at the register. How much does Oliver pay?

Answer 1

Oliver pays $6.30

Explanation:

Selling price = $15

At discount of 40%, Jinkie's Jumpin' Junkfood's sells for;

`15-(15~x~0.4)=15-6`

`15-(15~x~0.4)=9`

But Oliver also has a coupon worth 30% discount off the same price at register;

`9-(9~x~0.3)=9-2.7`

`9-(9~x~0.3)=6.3`

Thus, Oliver pays $6.30
