Example Question #81 : Problem Solving

A sweater costs 100 dollars. It is then discounted 20%. A week later it is discounted another 25%. What is the final price of the sweater?

Possible Answers:

50 dollars

45 dollars

60 dollars

55 dollars

Correct answer:

60 dollars

Explanation:

When the 100 dollar shirt is discounted 20%, it will be discounted 20 dollars, leaving the price at 80 dollars. 

When 80 dollars is then discounted another 25%, that value is equal to another 20 dollars. 

100 dollars less 20 dollars, less another 20 dollars is 60 dollars. 

Thus, 60 dollars is the final price.
