After buying the 3 games, the customer realizes they have a $10 gift card. How much will they pay after using the gift card?

Answer 1

To solve the problems step by step:

**Question 1 (1 point)**
a.) To find the sale price of the game after the discount, first calculate the discount amount and then subtract it from the original price.

1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 60 \times 0.25 = 15
\]

2. Calculate the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 60 - 15 = 45
\]

So, the sale price of the game after the discount is **$45**.

**Question 2 (1 point)**
b.) If a customer decides to buy 3 copies of the game, the total cost after the discount is applied can be calculated as follows:

1. Multiply the sale price by the number of copies:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Sale Price} \times \text{Quantity} = 45 \times 3 = 135
\]

So, the total cost after the discount for 3 copies of the game is **$135**.

**Question 3 (1 point)**
c.) After buying the 3 games, if the customer uses a $10 gift card, the final amount they will pay can be calculated by subtracting the gift card value from the total cost.

1. Subtract the gift card value from the total cost:
\[
\text{Final Amount} = \text{Total Cost} - \text{Gift Card} = 135 - 10 = 125
\]

So, after using the gift card, the customer will pay **$125**.
