It is important to check both conditions
np ≥ 5
nq = n(1 - p) ≥ 5
when you try to approximate a binomial distribution with a normal distribution.

If these two conditions are verified, it means that the sample is "big enough" to use the approximation, otherwise, the normal distribution does not fit well enough the binomial distribution and the values of mean, etc, could be different. 
Therefore if those conditions are not verified, the normal distribution is not suitable to represent the binomial distribution.

A discount store takes 50% off of the retail price of a desk. For the store's holiday sale, it takes an additional 20% off of al
Serhud [2]

We are given the retail price of desk as $320. The store takes 50% off of the retail price of desk, then its price would become half of the original.

So its new price would be $160.

Now it says that it takes an additional 20% off of all furniture on store's holiday sale. So we need to cut off 20% from new price $160.

Holiday discount = 20% of $160 = 0.2 × 160 = 32.

Final selling price would be = $160 - $32 = $128.

So $128 is the final answer.
