Question

6. A $400 TV was on sale for 30% off. Since it was a floor model it was also 10% off the sale price.
What was the price of the TV before tax? (Hint: This is NOT the same as 40% offl)

Answer 1

Answer:

$252

Step-by-step explanation:

The TV, which cost $400, is on sale for 30% off. So, let's find the price.

0.30 × 400 = 120

400 - 120 = 280

The TV is on sale for $280. But, there is also 10% off the sale price since it was a floor model. So,

0.10 × 280 = 28

280 - 28 = 252

The price of the TV before taxes is $252.

This is not the same as 40% off because that would make the price of the TV $240.

0.40 × 400 = 160

400 - 160 = 240

Hope that helps.
