Question

Molly wants to buy a skirt. The original price was $40.The skirt is on sale for 12% off. When she goes to pay for it the cashier tells her she can have an additional 13% discount off the sale price, how much will Molly pay for the skirt?

Answer 1

$30.62

Explanation:

12% of 40 is 4.8

(10% is 4, 2% is 0.8)

40- 4.8= 35.2

13% of 35.2 is 4.576

(10% is 3.52, 3% is 1.056)

35.2- 4.576= 30.624

then rounded to 2 decimal places

30.62
