Question

Would you rather have two 20% discounts or a 40% discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

one 40% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

lets use 100$ total for an example.

Say we have 40% of 100 so the total would be 60$ but it we have 20% and then another 20% off that we would have a final total of 64$\

Prove: 100*.4=40 100-40=60

100*.2=20 100-20=80, 80*.2=16 80-16= 64$

Answer 2

A 40% discount. For example, taking 40% or .4 off 100 is 40. So for an item that costs 100$ you save 40$ = a 60$ item. If you were to do 2, 20% discounts it would be 100 x 20%, or .2, = 20, so an 80$ item. Then 20% of that would be 16. 80-16=64. 60 is less than 64 meaning a greater discount, like 40% off would be cheaper, then two discounts half if its size, like 2 20% discounts.
