Question

A televison that regularly sells for $749 is

marked down 15%. After it doesn’t sell, it is

reduced another 20% from the sale price. What

is the total savings from the original price?

Answer 1

$239.68 or 32%

Explanation:

749÷100=7.49 7.49×85=636.65

636.65÷100=6.3665

6.3665×80=509.32

cost after both reductions= $509.32

749-509.32=239.68

total savings =$239.68 or 32%
