Question

A shoe store is offering a 30% discount on all items in the store. At the register, the store will also take an additional 15% off. Suppose you purchase a pair of Addidas shoes with an original price of $98. What is the final sale price of the shoes? $53.91 $61.41 $58.31 $44.10

Answer 1

$58.31

Explanation:

First, take 30% off of the $98

98 x 0.3 = 29.4

98 - 29.4 = 68.6

Then, take off the 15%

68.6 x 0.15 = 10.29

68.6 - 10.29 = $58.31

Answer 2

$ 58.31

Explanation:

Discount (30%) = 30% of 98

= 0.30 * 98

= $ 29.40

Price of shoes after 30% discount = 98 - 29.40 = $ 68.60

Discount (15%) = 15% of 68.60

= 0.15* 68.60

= $ 10.29

Price of shoes after 15% discount = 68.60 - 10.29

= $ 58.31

Final sale price = $ 58.31
