see explantion

Explanation:

The selling price is ​$495.

The first washing machine:

- is marked down by 30​%

$495 - 100%

$x - 100% - 30% = 70%

Find the value of x:

The second washing machine:

- is marked down by 20​% with an additional 10​% off

$495 - 100%

$y - 100% - 20% = 80%

Find y:

Now,

$396 - 100%

$z - 100% - 10% = 90%

Find z:

Thus, the sale price of the first washing machine is $347 and the sale price of the second washing machine is $356. The second machine is more expensive.
