Question

Find the amount due on a merchandise listed at 2,080 pesos, less discounts of 14% and 6%.

Answer 1

The total amount is given by 2080 pesos.

At discounts of 14% , the discount amount will be

So amount due due to 14%

$2080\times\frac{14}{100}=20.8\times14=291.2$

So the amount due due to 14% discount is

$2080-291.2=1788.8\text{Pesos}$

Now at 6% discount we have

$2080\times\frac{6}{100}=20.8\times6=124.8$

And abount due will be

$2080-124.8=1955.2\text{pesos}$
