Question

Fernando has been saving money to buy an e–book reader. A store has just marked down the price of its readers by 40%. Each reader comes with a mail-in rebate for $25. If the reader used to cost $150, what will Fernando's final price be after the markdown and rebate?

Answer 1

75

Explanation:

150x.40=60

60+25=85

150-85=75

Answer 2

$35

Explanation:

First, multiply the percentage marked down by the price 150x.40=60 to get the price before rebate.

Then, subtract the rebate from the price before rebate 60-25=35 to get the final price.
