Question

1. On Tuesdays , a smoothie with a regular price of $3.80 is discounted by 25% . A costumer has a coupon that entitles him to an additional 15% off the discounted price . The cashier finds the final price by applying a 40% discount to the regular price . Is this approach correct ? Why or why not ?

Answer 6

So how do I write it out ?

Answer 7

you first apply a 25% discount, then an extra (coupon) 15% discount to the DISCOUNTED price as stated above

Answer 8

so the approach of 25+15=40%discount is wrong, because the coupon discount applies on the already discounted price
