Problema Solution
After Christmas, a department store marked down all its winter clothing by 40%. Two weeks later, the remaining items were marked down again 15% off the sale price. During the last week of January, the store announced a final reduction of 20% off the last ticketed price. If you bought a sweater during the final sale, what percentage of the original price did you save?
Answer provided by our tutors
the answer is 59.20%
suppose original price = 100
40% discount so price becomes = 0.6*100 = 60
again 15% discount so price become = 0.85*60 = 51
again 20% discount so price become = 0.8*51 = 40.80
so discount = 100 - 40.80 = 59.2
