Question

A store is having a sale where everything is discounted 30%. For ThanksGiving weekend, they are also taking an additional 20% off the sale price. Find the discount and the sales price if a customer buys an item that normally sells for $365.

Answer 1

The answer is 182.50 because 30% + 20% =50%. 50%= 0.50

When you multiply $365 x 0.50 you get $182.50.

Hope this helped! Since 50% = 1/2, then you could also divide $365 by 2 and still get $182.50

Answer 2

the answer is $204.40
