Question 3 • POP Financial Math 26/27

Wilma buys a new game that is priced $43.89. She gets successive discounts of 15% followed by 5% off on the game. The purchase price of Wilma’s game is _____ of the original price.

Answer
A
79.5%
B
80%
C
80.75%
D
82%

Explanation

After a 15% discount, Wilma pays 85% of the original price. The additional 5% discount means she pays 95% of that reduced amount, so 0.85 × 0.95 = 0.8075, or 80.75% of the original price. The correct choice is 80.75%.
