Question

John has two coupons that he can use to

purchase a new refrigerator. The first coupon is
30% off, and the second is an additional 20%.
If the refrigerator is $1599.99, how much will he
pay after the discounts are applied one at a
time?

Answer 1

Ans:800 or 799.995

Explanation:

first aplly the 30% percent

=30/100 x 1599.99

=479.997

This the amount that it is gonna be discounted or removed from the original Pric that is 1599.99

Then minus the original price with the discount

=1599.99-479.99

=1120

dollars left then apply the 20% percent coupon on the 1120 dollars

=20/100 x 1120

=224 discount

minus it from the second original price

=$896

This is the amount he is gonna pay
