Question

A phone sells for $370. It is now off the original price. Courtney has a coupon for an extra 5% 1 4 off of the sale price. To the nearest dollar, how much less than the original price will Courtney pay for the phone?

Answer 1

Courtney will pay $349.50 for the phone, which is $20.50 less than the original price.

To calculate this, we first need to calculate the sale price of the phone with the coupon.

The coupon is 5% 1 4, which is equivalent to a 20% discount. Therefore, the sale price of the phone is $370 - (20% x $370) = $296.

The coupon gives an additional 5% 1 4 discount, which is equivalent to a 12.5% discount.

Therefore, the final price of the phone is $296 - (12.5% x $296) = $349.
