Employee discount = 20%
\n" ); document.write( "Sale discount = 15%
\n" ); document.write( "Total discount = 35%
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( " $\"35%25+=+.35\"$ <--- .35 is 35% in decimal form just so you know.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"450%2A0.35+=+157.5\"$ <--- Found discount by multiplying original price by discount percent (in decimal form).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"450+-+157.5+=+292.5\"$ <--- Subtract discount from original price to get final price.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the employee would pay $292.50 for the dishwasher. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
