Question

A cell phone normally sells for $500, but it is marked down 30% and you have a coupon for an additional 15% off. How much would it cost you to purchase the cell phone?

Answer 1

$275

Explanation:

30% + 15%=45%

45% of 500 is 225, because 500 x 0.45=225. Then subtract the discount from the total, 500 - 225, and you get 275
