Question

NEED HELP ASAP!

Carolina and Patricia received their Christmas bonus and decided to use this weekend to buy their Christmas gifts .


Carolina decided to take advantage of the Great Winter Sale in Liverpool that offers discounts of 50% + 20%.

Patricia went to the mall and took advantage of the boutique discount that offers discounts of 70%.

They both bought 3 items with a total listing price of $120. At the end of their purchase rounds, they will have coffee with their friend Cristina and tell her about the offers they found. Based on their experiences, Cristina must decide where she will do her shopping.


Analyze this situation and think,


Where would you recommend Cristina to do her shopping? What is the final price paid on each establishment?

Applying what you have seen in your math classes, what where your calculations and how you can relate it to composition of functions.

Answer 1

I would recommend Christina to do her shopping at any of those 2 places because they both have a discount of 70%. The final price paid on each establishment was $36.

120*0.7 = 84

120 - 84 = 36

Explanation:

Carolina has a discount of 50%+20% which is the same as a discount of 70%, and Patricia had a discount of also 70%, so they both had the same discounts.
