Question 5 • Grade 7 Mathematics

The sale rack at the department store said that an additional 30 percent discount would be taken on all items. If a dress on the sale rack had an original price of 86 dollars and was already marked down by 25 percent, what is final cost of the dress before taxes?

Answer
A
47 point 3 0 dollars
B
60 point 2 0 dollars
C
45 point 1 5 dollars
D
38 point 7 0 dollars

Explanation

First apply the 25% markdown: 86 × 0.75 = $64.50. The additional 30% discount means paying 70% of that price, so $64.50 × 0.70 = $45.15. The final cost before taxes is $45.15, choice C.
