Question 1171272: Kohl's changed it's company policy for applying two coupons to a single purchase. The new policy is to take the percent off first and the dollar amount off last. If you hand the cashier a $10 off coupon and a 30% off coupon, how much will you get charged for a $500 Air Pods?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
take the percent off first and the dollar off last.
retail = 500
30% off = .3 * 500 = 150 off.
sale price = 500 - 150 = 350.
10 dollars off of that = 350 - 10 = 340.
final price is 340.

you should wind up with a better final price than if they took off the 10 dollars first and then the 30%.
500 - 10 = 490.
490 - .3 * 490 = 490 - 147 = 343.

final price when they take off 30% first and then 10 dollars = 340.
final price when they take off 10 dollars first and then 30% = 343.

your solution is that the final price is 340 dollars.
that's when they take off 10 dollars first and then take off 30%.
