A store is offering a 30% discount on all goods. Justin purchases a fridge whose original price is 480 and a stove whose original price is $800

Question

Without a discount, how much would Justin have to pay altogether?

Answer 1

Ahlam, if we take 30% off, we are left with 70%, right? "Percent" means for each 100, so 70% = 70/100 = 7/10 = .7.

 

.7(480 + 800) = .7(1280) = 896

 

$896
