Question

Kinda confusing problem given by my teacher:

What is the total discount percent as compared to the original price, if trousers are discounted by 12% and then a further 20% discount is given and new price is $281.6. (answer like this xx.x)

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

281.6x20%= 56.32

281.6+56.31=337.91

337.91x12%=40.55

337.91+40.55=378.46
