Question

On Friday, a snowboard originally priced at $\$100$ was discounted $50\%$. On Monday, that sale price was reduced by $30\%$. In dollars, what is the price of the snowboard after the Monday reduction

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Discounting a $\$100$ item by $50\%$ reduces the price to $50\%(\$100)= \$50$. Discounting the $\$50$ price by $30\%$ reduces it to $70\%(\$50)=\boxed{35}$ dollars.

Answer 2

The answer is $35

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount $100

50% discount (100x50%) $50

30% reduction is $50 (50x30%) $15

Price of Snow board after Monday (100-50-15) $35
