Answer by mananth(16946)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! original price = $450
The sale price will be = the original price less 15 % discount
15% off so the sale price = 450-0.15*450
sale price = $ 382.50
Employee gets 20% off on this price
The employee has to pay 382.50 - (0.20*382.50)
= $306
..
..
20 % discount on the car
sale price = $80 if the original price is $100 then
sale price is $12590 so original price will be
12590*100/80
=$15,737.50
