Question

On friday, a computer was priced at $800. on the following wednesday, the price was reduced by 15%. On the following friday, the price was further reduced by 20%. what percent of the original price was the final price ?

Answer 1

800 * 0.85 = 680

680 * 0.8 = 544

800 - 544 = 256

256 / 800 = 0.32 = 32%

100 - 32 = 68% of the original price

Answer 2

So 15% of 800 is $120
800-120=680
20% of 680 (the new whole) is $136
680-136=544
$800 is equal to 100% so just find what percentage u get when u solve for $544
Answer: 68%
(Hope this helps!)
