Question

The music store is having a 15% off sale on all classical music cds. Lyell has a coupon for 20% off any classical music cd. How much will Lyell save on a classical music cd that has a price of $23.99?
a.
$7.20
b.
$7.68
c.
$8.40
d.
$9.60

Answer 1

The discounts multiply: price × 0.85 × 0.80 = 23.99 × 0.68 = 16.3132, so savings = 23.99 − 16.3132 = 7.6768 ≈ $7.68. Answer: b.
