Question

In a certain store, the regular price of a refrigerator is$600.

Answer 1

Correct option is A. Money saved is  ′ $6 ′ .

Given

Regular price of the refrigerator = $600

i) Buying the refrigerator at 20 percent off regular price

Final Discount in this case = 20% (Regular price of the refrigerator)

= 20 / 100 × 600

​= $120

ii)  Buying it on sale at 10 percent off regular price and an additional 10 percent off sale price

Discount for the sale = 10% (Regular price of the refrigerator)

=  10/100  × $600

= $60

Sale price of the refrigerator = Regular price of the refrigerator − Discount for sale

= $600 − $60

= $540

Final Discount in this case = 10% (Sale price of the refrigerator)

= 10/100​  × $540

= $54

Money saved if we buy as (case−i) = (Final Discount in (case.i)) − (Final Discount in (case.ii))

= $60 − $54

= $6

Therefore, Money saved is  ′ $6 ′ .
