Question

Gary's Sporting Goods sold to one of its dealers a dozen sports jackets at 950 pesos each and 2 dozens of sports pants at 1,200 pesos each. The entire purchased carried with it a discount rate of 20%. Find the total net price to the dealer.

Answer 1

The total cost of one dozen sports jackets will be

$950\times12=11400$

The total cost of two dozen sports pants will be

$1200\times24=28800$

The total cost of the entire purchase is

$11400+28800=40200$

now, the discount given on the total transaction will be

$\text{Discount}=\text{40200}\times0.2=8040$

So, the total net price to the dealer will be

$40200-8040=32160$

Therefore, the total net price is 32160 pesos.
