Question

a store is having a 10%off sale it gives 10%off if the item is still ubove 100$ after the first discount if the jacket is 199.99 will you get the second discount? if so how much money will you save in total

Answer 1

Answer: $38 is the amount saved

To get second discount, 90% of the price must be > $100

hence 90% of 199.99 = 199.99/100*90 = $179.991 (Price after 1st discount)

Since the price after first discount is > $100 , it is eligible for second discount.

Price after 2nd discount of 10% = 179.991/100*90 = $161.9919

Savings = 199.99-161.9919 = 37.9981 = 38 dollars saved.

Explanation:

199.99 * 0.9 = 179.99

179.99 * 0.9 = 161.99

199.99 - 161.99 = $38 amount saved
