Respuesta :
The sale price of a black coat is $ 2.4 less than sale price of a blue coat
Solution:
Given that,
Bluecoat usually cost $48 but it's on sale for 25% off
Cost price of blue coat = $ 48
Discount = 25 %
Therefore, discount price is given as:
Discount price = 25 % of 48
[tex]Discount\ price = 25 \% \times 48\\\\Discount\ price = \frac{25}{100} \times 48\\\\Discount\ price = 0.25 \times 48\\\\Discount\ price =12[/tex]
Thus sales price is given as:
Sales price = cost price - discount price
Sales price = 48 - 12
Sales price = 36
Thus sales price of blue coat is $ 36
Black coat is really cost $56 but it's on sale for 40%
Cost price of black coat = $ 56
Discount = 40 %
Therefore, discount price is given as:
Discount price = 40 % of 56
[tex]Discount\ price = 40 \% \times 56\\\\Discount\ price = \frac{40}{100} \times 56\\\\Discount\ price = 0.4 \times 56\\\\Discount\ price =22.4[/tex]
Thus sales price is given as:
Sales price = cost price - discount price
Sales price = 56 - 22.4
Sales price = 33.6
Thus sales price of black coat is $ 33.6
How much less is the sale price of a black coat in the sale price of a blue coat
Sales price of blue coat - sales price of black coat = 36 - 33.6 = 2.4
Thus sale price of a black coat is $ 2.4 less than sale price of a blue coat
