Question

Timmy wants to buy a scooter and the price was $150. When he goes to the store a

second time, he found that the price was marked down by 15%. Then when he gets to the

register the cashier tells him today only he gets an additional 10% off the sales price. What is

the final cost of the scooter including the discounts?

Answer 1

Explanation:

150*15% off =22.50 off total 127.50. Then he gets the 10% off 127.50*10%= 12.75 off total cost $114.75

It may look like 25% off at once, but most stores will do the discounts separately so they don't lose too much money.

Answer 2

112.5

Explanation:

total discount: 25%
