Question

The $130 fishing rod was first marked down 40 percent, and now it’s an additional 25 percent off. How much will it end up costing

Answer 1

Answer:$58.50

Explanation:

The price was 130

With 40% off

Which reads out in this format

40/100*130= 52 dollars off the real price

130-52=78 dollars

Then later reduce by 25 percent

Now the price is 78 dollars

25/100*78= 19.5 dollar off the new price

So the real price will be

78-19.5=$58.5
