A store is having a 10%-off sale. It gives an additional 10% off if the price is still over $100 after the first discount. A jacket costs $199.99. Will you get the second discount and if so, how many dollars will you save in total?
yes $12.49 (i choose this one)
yes $38.00
no
yes $40.00
am i right? if i'm not, how do i do this?
Ms. sue i need yooou
200 * 0.1 = $20.
180 * 0.1 = $18.
200 - (18 + 20) = $162
so i save 38 dollars?
Yes.
tysm, ms. sue !
Thanks Ms. Sue! You're a life saver.
You are very welcome. :-)
To determine if you will get the second discount and calculate the total savings, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the first discount:
The jacket costs $199.99, and there is a 10% discount. To find the discounted price, multiply the price by 0.10:
$199.99 * 0.10 = $19.99
2. Calculate the discounted price:
Subtract the first discount from the original price:
$199.99 - $19.99 = $180.00
3. Check if the discounted price is still over $100:
The discounted price is $180.00, which is over $100.
4. Calculate the second discount:
Since the price is still over $100 after the first discount, we can now calculate the second discount. Multiply the discounted price by the second discount of 10%:
$180.00 * 0.10 = $18.00
5. Calculate the total savings:
Add up the savings from the first and second discounts:
$19.99 + $18.00 = $37.99
Based on this calculation, the correct answer is $37.99, which is closest to the given option of $38.00. So, the correct statement is "yes $38.00."
