a computer game was originally priced at 49.99. It was marked down 15%. It was later moved to the clearance rack that stated 50% off the lowest marked price. What was the final cost of the computer game

Answer 1

To find the final cost of the computer game, we need to calculate the discounted price twice.

First, let's calculate the discount when it was marked down by 15%:
Discount amount = 15% of $49.99 = 0.15 * $49.99 = $7.50
Discounted price = $49.99 - $7.50 = $42.49

Next, let's calculate the discount when it was moved to the clearance rack and marked down by 50%:
Discount amount = 50% of $42.49 = 0.50 * $42.49 = $21.25
Final cost = $42.49 - $21.25 = $21.24

Therefore, the final cost of the computer game is $21.24.
