Question

Kareem cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The selling price of each is ​$650. The first is marked down by ​40%. The second is marked down by 10​% with an additional 30​% off. Find the sale price of each washing machine. Use pencil and paper. Explain why should buy the first washing machine rather than the second if the machines are the same except for the selling price.

Answer 1

Each washing machine is $390 and the first washing machine is better because its marked down all the way in stead of a discount, meaning that the tax will be lower (I think)
