Question 350654: Employees of a discount appliance store recieve 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 costs $450?

Employee discount = 20%
Sale discount = 15%
Total discount = 35%
-
<--- .35 is 35% in decimal form just so you know.
<--- Found discount by multiplying original price by discount percent (in decimal form).
<--- Subtract discount from original price to get final price.
-
Therefore the employee would pay $292.50 for the dishwasher.
