Question

One day, the appliance store offers a $50 discount on all purchases over $300. The store also has a sale with 15% off the price of all refrigerators. The 15% discount is applied after the $50 discount. What is the price, in dollars, of a $435 refrigerator after both discounts?

Answer 1

Answer:

$327.25

Step-by-step explanation:

so first we apply the $50 discount

$435-$50= $385

then we find how much the 15% discount is worth by turning the percent into a decimal and multiplying by the $385

385•0.15= 57.75

now we subtract the value of the discount from the newer price

385-57.75= $327.25

hope this makes sense <3
