Answer:

No it does not  matter in which order the store applies the discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have the cost price = $ 100

Then 70 %  off means 70% of 100= 70 $ discount

And the remaining $ 30  is again given a discount of 20 % . That would be 20 % of $ 30=  $ 6 discount giving the discounted price of $ 24.

Now if we apply the discount of 20 % first that would give $ 80 discounted price and again applying 70 % to $ 80 would give $ 56 discount and a discounted price of $ 80 - $ 56= $ 24

Hence the order in which the discount is applied does not matter.

Name the property that is illustrated in each equation
gladu [14]
The associative property says that if we're adding a bunch of numbers together, the parentheses do not affect the order in which we add. that means:
a + (b + c) is the same as (a + b) + c
therefore:
h + (y + 4.1) = (h + y) + 4.1
this is illustrating that property, specifically in regards to addition. so the answer is the associative property of addition.

the commutative property, on the other hand, states that order itself doesn't affect the answer when we're adding a bunch of numbers together. this means that:
a + b + c = c + b + a = a + c + b and so on and so forth.
so when we have the following equation:
t * 1.5 = 1.5 * t
this is demonstrating the commutative property of multiplication.

s * p = p * s
guess what! this is really the same question as before. all we're doing is flipping the two numbers(variables) around, showing that order does not matter. thus, the answer is yet again the commutative property of multiplication.

(0 + z) + 8 = (z + 0) + 8
this one might look like the associative property, but the associative property involves moving the parentheses around or getting rid of them altogether to show that the parentheses don't matter to the final answer. In this one, all that is happening is the 0 and z are being flipped inside the parentheses, illustrating the commutative property of addition.
