Question

A $250 gaming system is discounted by 25%. It was then discounted another 10% because the box was opened by a customer. a. The sale price of the gaming system is _______$ b. After both discounts are taken, the total percent discount is______$

Answer 1

a. Sale Price
`=\$168.75`

b. Total percent discount
`=32.5\%`

Explanation:

First Discount:

Initial Price
`=\$250`

Discount
`=25\%`

`25\%\ of\ 250=(25)/(100)* 250=62.5\\\\Now\ Price=250-62.5=$187.5`

Second Discount:

`Price=187.5\\\\Discount=10\%\\\\10\%\ of\ 187.5=(10)/(100)* 187.5=18.75\\\\Now\ Sale\ Price=187.5-18.75=\$168.75`

Effective Discount:

Initial Price
`=\$250`

Final Price
`=\$168.75`

Total discount
`=250-168.75=81.25`

`\%\ discount=(81.25)/(250)* 100=32.5\%`
