james wants buy a new playstation 5 that cost $550. when he gets to the sony store, he sees that they are having a scale for 10% off all playstation 5s. he then has a coupon that takes an additional 15% off the discounted price. james thinks that he can figure out the cost of the ipad by finding 25% of $550 and then subtracting that from $550. do you agree or disagree explain. please help ASAP and show work

Answer 1

Yes, I agree with James because coupons and sales are ran at the same time and it will have the same output.

Explanation:

Find 25% of 550

0.25 × $550 = $137.50

Subtract that by 550

550 - 137.50 = 412.50

OR

Find 75% of 550

$412.50
