Question

Sam bought a new couch on sale at the discount furniture store. The original cost of the couch was $550. The sale price was $449. Sam has a coupon for 30% off the couch if he bought a $99 lamp. If he bought the $99 lamp, what was total cost of his couch and lamp before tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost of couch and lamp before tax =$\ 484$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original price of couch =$550

Sale price of couch = $449

Discount on couch =30%

∴ Discount offered =$30\%\ of\ Original\ price=30\%\ of\ 550=0.3\times 550=\ 165$

Price of couch after discount = $\textrm{Original price- Discount}$=$550-165=\ 385$

Cost of lamp =$99

Total cost of couch and lamp = $\ 385+\ 99=\ 484$
