- First day: 10% reduction from $10.00 = $10.00 - $1.00 = $9.00
- Second day: 90% of $9.00 = 0.90 x $9.00 = $8.10
- Third day: 90% of $8.10 = 0.90 x $8.10 = $7.29
Therefore, the price for the item on the 3rd day of the sale is $7.29.
A store is having a three-day sale. On the first day of the sale, the price of an item is reduced by 10% from its regular price.
Each day of the sale after the first day, the price of each sale item is reduced to equal 90% of its price from the previous day.
One sale item has an original price of $10.00.
