Question

The list price on slacks is $22, and the list price on jumpers is $37. If Petit’s Clothing Store orders 30 pairs of slacks and 40 jumpers at a discount rate of 11%, what is the trade discount on the purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: $235.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price list on slacks is $22

Price list on jumpers is $37

Store ordered 30 pairs of slacks and 40 Jumpers

Total price becomes

$\Rightarrow 22\times 30+37\times 40\\\Rightarrow \ 2140$

for a discount of 11%

Trade discount is $2140\times 11\%$

$\Rightarrow 2140\times 0.11\\\Rightarrow \ 235.4$
