Question

I need to understand the solution.

Answer 1

D) $9.6

Explanation:

1. Start with $32
2. The regular discount is 30 - 60%, because we want the lowest price, we'll use 60%
3. Find 60% of $32
4. $32 × 0.60 = $19.20
5. Now, subtract $19.20 because its 60% OFF
6. $32 - $19.20 = $12.80
7. Then to the next discount
8. Find 25% of $12.80
9. $12.80 × 0.25 = $3.20
10. Once again, subtract $3.20 because its 25% OFF
11. $12.80 - $3.20 = $9.60

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

Lowest possible price would be when the discount is maximum (i.e 60% and then 25%)

Discount of 60% means the cost is 40% of the original price

40% of 32 = 40/100 × 32 = 12.8

Additional 25% discount means paying 75% of 12.8

75% of 12.8 = 75/100 × 12.8 = 9.6
