Question

Eric’s family is moving away from California. They decided to have a moving sale and sell each item for 70% off the original price. The sofa had an original price of $800, and the love seat had an original price of $550. What is the price Sally will pay if she buys both items?

Answer 1

The answer will be 405 dollars !

Answer 2

$405

Explanation:

70% of 800 is $560

70% of 550 is $385

However, that is NOT the answer.

That is how much money is taken off the original prices.

Now:

800-560= $240

550-385= $165

240 + 165= $405

:) Hope that helped!
