Question

Employees of a discount appliance store receive an additional 20% off of the lowest price on an item.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $306.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dishwasher originally cost $450, then after applying 15% off, its price will be 100% - 15% = 85% of the original price:

$\dfrac{85\%}{100\%} *\ 450$

$0.85*\ 450 = \ 382.5$

Thus, during the 15% off sale, the dishwasher will cost $382.5.

Now, the employees of the discount appliance store receive an additional 20% off; therefore, the price of the dishwasher will be 100% - 20% = 80% of $382.5:

$\dfrac{80\%}{100\%} *\ 382.5$

$0.8*\ 382.5=\ 306$

Therefore, the employee will purchase the dishwasher at a price of $306, which is choice D.
