Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's what's going on: some person buying their furniture sees this sofa and it's $1200. That person sees theres a 1/3 off sale! They're happy and buy their sofa with a 20% off discount they got.

Now we have to find out  if they should use the 20% off discount before or after adding the 1/3 off sale.

The answer is, they're both the same.

Say they add the 1/3 off sale discount and then use their 20% off discount. Find the 1/3 off sale: 1200 divided by 3 (because fractions are division problems) = 400. 20% of 400: 400 x 0.2 = 80. It's not just 80, because it's not an "only pay 20%" discount. 400 - 80 = 320. They'd pay $320 with this method.

This shows that using the 20% discount after the 1/3 off sale the customer spends $320.

Now let's calculate what happens if they use the discount after the 1/3 off sale. 20% of 1200: 1200 x 0.2 = 240. 1200 - 240 = 960. Now adding the 1/3 off sale: 960 divided by 3 = 320. They'd also pay $320 with this method.

If it's a short answer, you could just write something like, "No, both methods end up with the sales associate paying $320."

Hope this helps!

What is the answer for #37
denis-greek [22]
They want to make a total of $1200.
55*10=550
55*8=440
440-550=990
1200-990=210
210/35=6
So they should sell the other plants for $6 each.
