Question

Kyndal wants to buy a lamp thatoriginally cost $82, but went on sale for20% off. The store is having anadditional sale that is 40% off the saleprice. What is the price of the lamp?

Answer 1

The price of the lamp = $39.36

Explanation:

Original cost = $82

Discount = 20%

The discounted price = $82 × 20% = 82 × 0.2

The discounted price = $16.4

The price to be paid = $82 - $16.4 = $65.6

An additional discount of 40%:

Discounted price = 40% of $65.6 = 0.4 × $65.6

Discounted price = $26.24

The price of the lamp = $65.6 - $26.24

The price of the lamp = $39.36
