Question

On Monday Jeff bought a t-shirt for 40% off the regular price of $16 not including tax the next DayZ t-shirt that Jeff bought was marked down to 70% off its regular price how much would you have to save not including tax if he had waited until Tuesday to buy the shirt????? (Plz help me I'm so confused)

Answer 1

40% off means he paid 60%:

16 x 0.60 = 9.60

He paid $9.60

70% off means it would cost 30% of the original price:

16 x 0.30 = 4.80

On Tuesday it would have cost $4.80

9.60 - 4.80 = 4.80

He would have saved $4.80 if he had waited.
