Answer 3

Calculate both scenarios and compare the difference between the two

Answer 4

20% off of $600, is the same as paying 80% of the price

To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100. 80% of 600 is

(0.80)*600 = $480 paid in the first scenario

Answer 5

Now calculate 10% off, then 10% off that discounted price...

Answer 6

10% off
600*0.9 = $540

Now 10% off of that price.
0.90*540 = $486 paid in the second scneario

what is the difference
