Question

You go to Macy’s and buy a watch costing $150. The watch is on sale for 60% off. What is the sale price after both discounts?

Answer 1

Sale price of the watch = $60

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of the watch at Macy's = $150

Discount on watch = 60%

Amount of discount = 60% of cost

Amount of discount =
`(60)/(100)*150`

Amount of discount = 0.60*150 = $90

Price after discount = 150-90

Price after discount = $60

Hence,

Sale price of the watch = $60
