Petite Boutique buys its blouses from Too Sweet blouse manufacturers. Too Sweet offers a 12 percent discount on orders of $3,000 or more. Petite Boutique ordered $4,200 worth of merchandise. If the store takes advantage of the discount, what will be the net(final) amount of the invoice?

Answer 1

The discount on orders of $3,000 or more is 12%.

The total order is $4,200.

Since the total order is greater than $3,000, Petite Boutique qualifies for the discount.

The discount amount is 12% of $4,200, which is (12/100) * $4,200 = $504.

The net amount of the invoice is the total order minus the discount amount, so it is $4,200 - $504 = $3,696.

Therefore, the net amount of the invoice will be $3,696.
