Question

“Mia is finally able to upgrade her cell phone. The one she wants costs $220 but she is able to get it for 60% off. She has a coupon for an additional 10% off. How much does she pay for her phone?”
I’ve tried every way I know, but I can’t get the right answer. It is a multiple choice question and the only three answers are
1.)$79.20
2.)$66.00
3.)$96.80

Answer 1

Hey there!

First add
60%+10%= 70%
So 70% will be taken off
Now multiply .7(which is the same as 70%) by 220

220*.7= 154
154 was taken off

220-154= 66

The Answer is $66

Hope this helps!:)
