Mar, cashier of ABC Department store

Question

Mar, cashier of ABC Department store is given a 15% discount on a cash purchase. How much will her discount be if she buys 2 dresses at P180 each and one pair of shoes costing P650?

a. P150.50 b. P151.50 c. P1,010 d. P36.009. 

Answer 1

Cost of 2 dresses = (2x180) = P360

Add: Cost of one pair of shoes = P650

Total Purchasing cost = P1010

Discount Rate given = 15%

Now, Total Discount received @ 15% = P1010x15% = P151.50

Answer 2

We get 15% off of our purchase. Let's add up our purchase so we can figure out how much off we will save. Two dresses at 180 or 2(180) + one pair of shoes for 650. 360+650 = 1,010.

Now we need to find 15% off of our total. we take the total (1,010) times 15% (.15)

Our answer will be 1,010 multiplied by .15
