Consider the provided information.

Katie and Margarita have $20 each to spend at students Choice bookstore where all students receive a 20% discount they both want to purchase a copy of the same book which normally sells for 22.50 plus 10% sales tax to check.

Katie takes 20% of 22.5 and subtract that amount from the normal price she takes 10% of the discount to selling price and add to back to find the purchase amount.

Let us find out whether Katie is correct or not.

She take 20% of 22.5 which is:

She subtract that amount from the normal price i.e = 22.5-4.5 = 18

She takes 10% of the discount to selling price:

And she add to back to find the purchase amount.

18 + 1.8 = 19.8

Which is the correct calculation.

Thus, Katie is correct.

Margarita takes 80% of the the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price.

Let us find out whether Margarita is correct or not.

She take 80% of 22.5 which is:

Then she computes 110% of the reduced price.

Which is also the correct calculation.
