Question 377470: A dress on sale in a shop is marked at $D. During the discount sale its price is reduced by 15%. Staff are allowed a further 10% reduction on the discounted price. If a staff member buys the dress what will she have to pay in terms of D ? Answer by vasumathi(46) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The marked price of the dress = D
the discount = 15% = 0.15
so the price after the discount = D -0.15 D = 0.85 D
the staff get additional 10% discount on this
so the reduction= 10% on 0.85 D = 0.1 *0.85D = 0.085 D
so the price for the staff after these two reductions = 0.85 D-0.085D = 0.765 D
This is the final answer
