Answer 1

Answer:

Total savings off the original price = $100

Explanations:

The original price = $160

Let the new price after 25% reduction in price be N₁

$\begin{gathered} N_1=\text{ }\frac{100-25}{100}\times160 \\ N_1=\text{ }\frac{75}{100}\times160 \\ N_1=\text{ }\ 120 \end{gathered}$

Let the new price after after the 50% reduction be N₂

$\begin{gathered} N_2=\text{ }\frac{50}{100}\times120 \\ N_2=\text{ \ 60} \end{gathered}$

Total savings off the original price = Original price - N₂

Total savings off the original price = 160 - 60

Total savings off the original price = $100
