You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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?
.
Original cost: $450
.
15% off original cost:
450 - .15(450)
= 450(1-.15)
= 450(.85)
= $382.5
.
addition 20% discount for employee:
382.5 - .20(382.5)
= 382.5(1-.20)
= 382.5(.80)
= $306
.
Answer: D
