Question 150230
20% + 15% will be his discount, because not only is he an employee (20%), but he is buying during a 15% off sale. So he gets two discounts, 20% and 15%. That is 35%.


if the dishwasher originally cost $450, find 35% of 450.


450 x .35 = 157.5


That is the discount.  Now subtract that from the original price to get the price you pay with the discount.


450 - 157.5 = 292.5


Final price after discount: $292.50
