Question

a phone sells for $250. It is now on sale for 1/5 of the original price. April has a coupon for an extra 10% off the sale price. To the nearest dollar, how much less than the original will april pay for the phone?

Answer 1

If you meant "1/5 off" instead of "1/5 of":

250-(250(4/5)(9/10))

250-(200(9/10))

250-(180)

70

So April saved $70 off the original price.

Answer 2

180 is correct ;3 you are welcome
