Medal & Fan (plz help asap)

A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discount. In the equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax and x represents the original price of the item:

C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Chris is an employee at the store. He plans to buy a coat during the sale. The price of the coat before the discount is $100. How much will Chris pay for the coat during the sale?

@StudyGurl14 @Luigi0210 @triciaal @Unavailabilityy Will you guys help me out?

Answer 2

discount pay less
additional more so add
total is 100%

Answer 3

I don't get what the 0.765x and 0.06 is in "C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)"

Answer 4

Plug in your equation, C.

C = 0.765(100) + 0.06[0.765(100)]
C = 76.5 + 0.06(76.5)
C = 76.5 + 4.59
C = 81.09

After the discount, Chris will pay $81.09 for the coat.

Answer 5

*cost

Answer 6

C=0.765(100)+0.06[0.765(100)]
C=$81.09

for 25% of discount the employee will now have to pay $20.273. ( The point of mentioning the discount 10% +15%= 25%)

Answer 7

So the answer is $20.273. @nes1234
