Answer 2

133.2

Explanation:

First take off the 40%

740 - (40/100)*740

740 - 0.4 * 740

740 - 296

444

=========================

That answer of 444 is the new selling price.

Now you take 30% of 444

30% of 444

30/100 * 444

0.3 * 444

133.2

Joseph will have to pay 133.2 dollars for the TV he want.

===========================

One Step

===========================

You could do this problem all in one step

30% (740*60% )

0.3 ( 740*0.6)

0.3(444)

133.2

=================

Both methods give the same answer.
