Question 204112: 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? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
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?
-------------------------------------------------------
The employee pays 80% of the discounted price.
The discounted price is 85% of the original price.
----------------
Let x = price the employee pays.
x = 0.80[0.85*450]
x = $306.00
