A store has a sale with 30% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an additional 10% off. Is this equal to a
40% discount? Explain your answer.


Sagot :

No it would not. If you have a $100 and take 30% off you would be at $70. Then you take your additional 10% off of that $70, you would be at $63.

Now lets rewind to the beginning. If we were to just take 40% off of the 100, you would be at $60.

So no it’s not the same. Hope that makes sense.
