Question

1) Justin wants to buy a new iPod that costs $250.

When he gets to the Apple store, he sees that they are
having a sale for 15% off all iPods. He then has a
coupon that takes an additional 15% off the discounted
price. Justin thinks that he can figure out the cost of the
iPod by finding 30% of $250 and then subtracting that
from $250. Do you agree or disagree with his claim?
Explain.

Answer 1

30/100× 250 = 70

250 - 70 = 180

agree, he'll save up to $70 and get the ipod at price $180
