Question

A $129.50 stereo is discounted 40% last month. This month the sale price is discounted 60%. What is the new sale price this month?

Answer 1

60% discount on $129.50 stereo is:

$\frac{60}{100}\times129.50=\text{ \ }77.7$

This implies that $77.7 has been taken off from the actual price.

Hence, the new sale price this month is:

$129.50-77.7=\text{ \ 51.8}$
