Question 436096: . Employees of a discount appliance store receive an additional 20% off of the lowest price on an item. If an employee purchases a dishwasher during a 15% off sale, how much will he pay if the dishwasher originally cost $450?

First compute the sale price of the item, which is 15% off $450:
$450 x 15% = $67.50, so the sale price before the employee discount is $450.00 - $67.50 = $382.50.
Now the employee receives 20% off the sale price of $382.50:
$382.50 x 20% = $76.50, the employee will receive $76.50 off the sale price:
$382.50 - $76.50 = $306.00
The employee price of the item will be $306.00
