Ralph can't sell video games at 35% off either. He’s taking another 20% off at the register.
What is the final cost of a $45 video game?
Find the first 35% discount. Then find the first sale price.
First Sale Price:
0.35 × $45 = $15.75
$45 − $15.75 = $29.25
$29.25 is the new whole. Now to calculate the second discount.
Find the 20% discount of $29.25. Then find the final sale price.
Final Sale Price:
$29.25 × 0.2 = $5.85
$29.25 − $5.85 = $23.40
The final sale price for the video game is $23.40.
