Question

A razor at the supermarket was originally sold for $20.During a sale, a discount of 23% was given. A further 5%discount was given to the customers who have amembership. How much would a member customer need topay for the razor during the sale?

Answer 1

Solution

Selling Price = $20

Discount of 23%

The price of discount to be removed is

$\begin{gathered} Discount=\frac{23}{100}\times20 \\ Discount=4.6 \end{gathered}$

So, Discount = $4.6 is to be removed as discount

New Discount price for the razor is

$20-4.6=15.4$

New Discount price = $15.4

There is now a further price for membership of 5% discount

The discount price to be removed will be

$\begin{gathered} NewDiscount=\frac{5}{100}\times15.4 \\ NewDiscount=0.77 \end{gathered}$

New Discount = $0.77 is to be removed

New Discount price for member is

$15.4-0.77=14.63$

A member customer need to pay $ 14.63 for the razor

Price = $14.63
