Question

During a Clarence sale at a sporting goods store skateboard were marked down 30%. On Saturday an additional 25% was taken off already reduced prices of skateboards. If a skateboard originally cost 119.50 what is the final price after all the discounts had been taken

Answer 1

original cost: $119.50

30% of $119.50 is: $119.50*30% = $35.85

Applying a discount of 30%, the discounted price is: $119.50 - $35.85 = $83.65

25% of $83.65 is: $83.65*25% = $20.91

Applying a discount of 25% to the discounted price, the final price is: $83.65 - $20.91 = $62.74
