Question

A phone sells for 245$ it is now on sale for 1/5 off the original price April has a coupon for a extra 10% off the sale price to the nearest dollar how much less than the original price will April pay for the phone?

Answer 1

$69

Explanation:

A phone sells for $245 it is now on sale for 1/5 off the original price. Find the sale price:

`\$245-(1)/(5)\cdot \$245=\$245-\$49=\$196`

April has a coupon for a extra 10% off the sale price. Find how much will April pay using her discount coupon:

`\$196-\$196\cdot 0.1=\$196-\$19.6=\$176.4`

Therefore, April will pay

`\$245-\$176.4=\$68.6\approx \$69`

less.
