a store offers a discount of 40 off any one regular-priced item. employees also get 10% off any purchases. in which order should the discounts apply so that the employee pays the least amount?
A. Employee discount then store discount
B. They are both the same
C. Store discount then employee discount

Sagot :

Let's say the price of an item is $1

Scenario #1 - 40% off $1  = 40 cents OFF

The discounted price = 60 cents

Now the 10% off of 60 cents

60-6 = 54 cents.

Scenario #2 - 10% of $1

The discounted price = 10 cents

100(cents) - 10 = 90 cents

Now the 40% off of 90 cents

90-36 = 54 cents

Let's try another value to confirm

Let's say the price of an item is $2

Scenario #1  - 40% off $2 = 80 cents OFF

200-80= 120 = $1.20

Now the 10% off of $1.20

120-12= 108 = $1.08

Scenario #2 - 10% off $2 = 20 cents OFF

200-20 = 180= 1.80

Now the 40% off of $1.80

180-72 = 108 = 1.08

With these two examples we can confirm either order

will give you the same savings.
