An electronics store has a clearance sale whereby everything in store is marked down
by 20% of the original price. Jay buys a
Bluetooth speaker with an original price of
R950.00. When he gets to the till, the cashier
lets him know that the speaker is marked
down a further 8% on the reduced price.
i. How much will Jay pay for the speaker?
ii. What is the final discount percentage Jay
gets off the original price?

i. R699. 2

ii. 26.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

First discount (on original price) = 20%

Second discount (on reduced price) = 8%

Original price = R950.00

*To find how much Jay will pay*

First discount;

Discount = R190.00

Reduced price = 950 - 190

Reduced price = R760.00

Second discount;

Discount = R60.8

Selling price = 760 - 60.8

Selling price = R699.2

Therefore, Jay will pay R699.2 for the speaker.

ii. To find the final discount percentage;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Percent discount = 26.4%

Therefore, the final discount percentage Jay gets off the original price is 26.4%.
