Question 985809
{{{1200-(0.03)1200}}} after the first discount;
but the next result depends on what exactly is being discounted FROM WHAT.

{{{1200-(0.24)(1200)}}}?



Maybe what is wanted is  {{{1200-(0.03)(1200)-(0.24)1200=1200(1-0.03-0.24)=1200(1-0.27)=1200(0.73)}}}
{{{highlight(786)}}}


Description is not exact enough, so that is maybe not the intended result.
HOW is the 24% discount supposed to be intended?  On the original or on the price  after the 3% discount?


3% discount on original $1200:
{{{1200-(0.03)(1200)=1164}}};
24% discount on the 3% discounted sell price,
{{{1164-(0.24)(1164)=highlight(884.64)}}}.
