Question

same radio at $80 less 30%. What is the offer and how much?

Answer 1

Hello

20% of 80 = 16 so we have left 64 and then 10% of 64 = 6.40 giving us 22.40 off

Now 30% of 80 = 24

So the second one is a better discount.

Hope This Helps!

Answer 2

80 x .20(20%) = 16
80-16 = 64
discount = $16 and price =$64

80 x .10 (10%) = 8
80-8 = 72
discount = $8 and price =$72

80 x .30 (30%) = 24
80-24 = 56
discount =$24 and price =$56
