Question

A chair’s regular price is $349. It is on clearance for 30% off, and a customer uses a

15% off coupon after that. What is the final cost of the chair before sales tax?

Answer 1

$207.655

Explanation:

30% off means 70% paid

70% = 0.7

15% off means 85% paid

85% = 0.85

0.85(0.7(349)) = 207.655

Answer 2

$207.66

Explanation:

349x.7=244.3

244.3x.85=207.665

Rounded to the nearest 100th

207.66
