Answer 1

Answer:

$69

Step-by-step explanation:

A phone sells for $245 it is now on sale for 1/5 off the original price. Find the sale price:

$\ 245-\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot \ 245=\ 245-\ 49=\ 196$

April has a coupon for a extra 10% off the sale price. Find how much will April pay using her discount coupon:

$\ 196-\ 196\cdot 0.1=\ 196-\ 19.6=\ 176.4$

Therefore, April will pay

$\ 245-\ 176.4=\ 68.6\approx \ 69$

less.
