Taylor bought a watch onsale for 60% off the originalprice, and another 10% off thediscounted price. If the watchoriginally cost $82, what wasthe final sale price?

Sagot :

Original Cost - $82

First part: Apply the 60% off discount

Convert first the 60% into decimal form

60% ÷ 100% = 0.6

Multiply it to the original cost to determine the discount

$82 ˣ 0.6 = $49.2

Subtract the discount to the original price, to determine the discounted price.

$82 - $49.2 = $32.8

Second part:

The discounted price is now $32.8 for which we will apply another 10% discount.

Again, convert 10% into decimal

10% ÷ 100% = 0.1

Multiply it to the discounted price, to determine the second discount.

$32.8 ˣ 0.1 = $3.28

Subtract the discount to the already discounted price.

$32.8 - $3.28 = $29.52

Therefore, the final sale price of the watch is at $29.52.
