Question

You go to a shoe store planning to buy a new pair of the latest Yeezy drop. A pair is selling around for $250. However you have a friend who is an employee giving you a 5% discount. Then you go up to the cash register and show your membership card, giving you another 10% off. What will the final price be for these shoes?

Answer 1

Answer:

mark price =250

first discount =5%, second is 10%

joint discount = 5+10-(5×10)/100=15-0.5=14.5%

now discount = 250×14.5%= 36.25

SP= 250-36.25=213.75 dollar

Answer 2

Given:

The marked price of the shoes = $250

Discount provided by employee friend = 5%

Discount provided due to membership card = 10%

To find:

The final price of the shoes.

Solution:

Let us first find out the price after availing discount provided by employee friend:

= $250 - 5/100 * 250

= $250 - 12.5

= $237.5

Now, let us find out the price after availing discount provided by membership card:

= $237.5 - 10/100*237.5

= $237.5 - 23.75

= $213.75

Thus, the final price of the shoes will be $213.75.
