a bookstore is offering a discount of 10%. jim wants to buy a book with a RRP(Recommended Retail Price) of $49.49.
how much will it cost him if he pays by cash and how much will it cost him if he pays my card.
100 % - 10 % = 90 % = 0.90
0.90 * 49.49 = $ 44.54
I have no idea what kind of card deal you have.

Well, well, well, looks like Jim is in for a bookish delight! So, with a discount of 10%, Jim will have to do some quick math dance moves.
If he pays by cash, let's calculate. 10% of $49.49 is $4.949. Subtract that discount from the original price, and Bob's your uncle! Jim will have to shell out $44.541 if he pays by cash.
Now, let's turn on the card-ometer! The credit card folks still want their full buck, so poor Jim won't get the discount. He'll have to pay the full $49.49 if he pays by card.
So there you go, my friend. If Jim pays by cash, it'll be $44.541 out of his wallet, but if he chooses the card, it'll cost him the full $49.49. Happy book hunting, Jim!
To calculate the cost of the book with a 10% discount, you need to subtract 10% of the RRP from the RRP itself.
1. Calculate the discount amount:
Discount = RRP * 10% = $49.49 * 10/100 = $4.949
2. Calculate the price after the discount for both the cash and card payments:
a) Cash Payment:
Price after discount = RRP - Discount = $49.49 - $4.949 = $44.541
b) Card Payment:
Since the payment method doesn't affect the discount, the price after discount will be the same as above, i.e., $44.541.
Therefore, Jim will need to pay $44.541 whether he pays by cash or card.
To calculate the cost for Jim if he pays by cash or by card, we need to apply the 10% discount to the RRP of the book.
1. Calculating the discount:
The discount amount can be found by multiplying the RRP ($49.49) by the discount rate (10%).
Discount amount = RRP * discount rate = $49.49 * 0.10 = $4.949
2. Calculating the cost with the discount:
The cost after the discount can be found by subtracting the discount amount from the RRP.
Cost with discount = RRP - discount amount = $49.49 - $4.949 = $44.541
Now, we can calculate the final costs for Jim depending on the payment method:
- Cash payment: If Jim pays by cash, he pays the full cost after the discount, which is $44.541.
- Card payment: If Jim pays by card, the cost may vary depending on any additional fees or charges that could be associated with card payments. You would need to provide more information about any potential card fees or charges in order to calculate the final cost for Jim.
Please note that for the calculation provided above, we assume that the 10% discount is applied to the RRP before any additional fees or charges are added.
