Is the $45.00 after the 20% cut or before?

anonymous · Answer

yes after

anonymous · Answer

Are you sure? Why would they ask about the percentages if they had already been taken off?

anonymous · Answer

that's the question and im totally confused!

anonymous · Answer

Ok, well if the cuts have already been taken off then add 45 and 95 and find 8% of that. So 140/100 x 8

anonymous · Answer

$11.20 in that instance

anonymous · Answer

If its before the cuts then multiply 45 by 0.8 and 95 by 0.7 and then find 8% of the sum of those.

anonymous · Answer

Which would be $8.20
