Question

David is looking for the best deal on a laptop that regularly costs $719. Help him compare the price of the laptop at a

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $287.60.

B) $323.55.

C) David would pay more for the laptop at the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given that the store's website is offering the laptop at a 60% discount off the regular price of $ 719, ignoring tax and shipping, the sale price is obtained through the following calculation:

100 - 60 = 40

719 x 0.40 = X

287.6 = X

Therefore, in this case the sale price would be $ 287.6.

B) Since the store is having a sale, offering a 50% discount off the regular price of the laptop, and David also has an in-store-only coupon for an additional 10% off the sale price, ignoring tax, the price of sale is obtained through the following calculation:

(719 x 0.5) x 0.9 = X

359.5 x 0.9 = X

323.55 = X

Thus, the sale price in the present case would be $ 323.55.
