Question

a. Sam purchased 3 games for $140 after a discount of 30%. What was the original price?
b. If Sam had used a 20% off coupon and opened a frequent shopper discount membership to save 10%, would the games still have a total of $140?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $175 b) It will be $126

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 3 games= $140

Let the original price of games= $ x

Discount is given= 30%

According to question

x $\frac{(100-20)}{100}$= $140

x $\frac{80}{100}$= $140

x ×0.8= $140

x= $ $\frac{ 140}{0.8}$

x= $175

Hence, the original price of games $ 140

(b)  If Sam had given a discount of 20%

Again a discount = 10%

The price of games=$ 140

Now, the selling price will be= 175$\frac{(100-20)}{100}$×$\frac{(100-10)}{100}$

Now, the selling price will be= $ 126

Hence, the price will be different.
