A digital picture frame with a suggested retail price of $500.00 is being offered on discount. The frame was initially marked down by 40%, and the customer will receive an additional 50% off the marked down price at the register. How much will the customer pay?

Question

hero · Answer

40% of 500 = 10% of 500 X 4 
10% of 500 = 50

40% = 50X 4 = 200

50% of 200 = 100

So the customer will pay $100

hero · Answer

Oh wait, lol

hero · Answer

500 - 200 = 300

50% of 300 = 150

So the customer will pay $150

Yes, very bizarre. I guess they want someone who is able to think at a certain level. Apparently, whatever job it is, they want to make sure that the person knows something :P
