Answer 1

Answer:

a. Sale Price$=\ 168.75$

b. Total percent discount$=32.5\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

First Discount:

Initial Price$=\ 250$

Discount$=25\%$

$25\%\ of\ 250=\frac{25}{100}\times 250=62.5\\\\Now\ Price=250-62.5= 187.5$

Second Discount:

$Price=187.5\\\\Discount=10\%\\\\10\%\ of\ 187.5=\frac{10}{100}\times 187.5=18.75\\\\Now\ Sale\ Price=187.5-18.75=\ 168.75$

Effective Discount:

Initial Price$=\ 250$

Final Price$=\ 168.75$

Total discount$=250-168.75=81.25$

$\%\ discount=\frac{81.25}{250}\times 100=32.5\%$
