Question

5. At a picture frame shop you order a $52 picture frame. You have a $40 gift certificate and a

11% discount coupon. The picture frame shop allows you to use both discounts at once, and
gives you the option of which discount is taken first. Use composition of the following
functions to make your decision. In which order should you take the discounts to obtain the
lowest price?

Answer 1

Do the 11% off first.

11% of 52$ is 46.38$, then you take $40 off and your total is only $6.38

if you do -40$ first then you have $12 left and 11% off that is $10.68.
