OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, you're right. That 40% discount throws me off XD. Trick question

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Can you help me with two more questions that follows this question? I just want to check my answers.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

B. Rocco wants to use the rest of his money in his savings account to buy a set of golf irons that has an original price of $350. Does Rocco have enough money to buy the golf irons? (I said no).

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Nope ^_^ It says he used 0.20 of his money in his bank account, 48/.2 = 240 240 - 48 = 192 He didn't have enough to being with >.>

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Though...

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Just checking on your way @tHe_FiZiCx99 , don't you have to also find the price within the discounts (40%) since it says that it "offers a discount on all golf clubs"?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

not sure what you mean

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Are golf clubs and golf irons the same or different?

A sporting goods store offers a 40% discount on all golf clubs. Rocco spent 20% of the money in his saving's account on a golf putter. He paid $48 for the putter after the discount. A. How much money did Rocco have in his savings account before buying the putter? yeah, 48/0.2 = $240 in his bank account BEFORE using $48 of it. set of golf irons that has an original price of $350 with 40% discount, price = $210 So does he have enough now?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

No.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I thought he used only 20% of the money in his bank the other 80% was 38.4 .-.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Can you help me on the last question please?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Rocco's friend works at the sporting goods store and gets 10% off the already discounted price. If Rocco's friend buys the golf irons for him, how much will his friend have to pay? (I got $189)

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Please can u help me fast? I have to get off soon.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Just take 10% off the discounted price : set of golf irons that has an original price of $350 with 40% discount, price = $210
