Asofa at leon's and pei was originally $1,899 the price was reduced by 35% for a quick sale but when it's still did not sell it was reduced by a further 20% what was the final sale at the sofa taxes in (taxes equal 15%)

Your answer is $1135.60

Work below:

The starting price of the sofa is $1,899.

35% of 1,899 is 664.65.

1899 - 664.65 = 1234.35

20% of 1234.35 is 246.87.

1234.35 - 246.87 = 987.48.

15% of 987.48 is 148.122, which can be rounded to 148.12.

987.48 + 148.12 = 1135.60

That is your answer.

Hey there!!

Let's take a closer look at the question,

We have the original price with included 15% tax

This original price is first reduced by 35% , first let's solve this.

35% = 35 / 100 = 0.35

0.35 × 1899

... $664.65 = 35% of of $1899.00

It would be sold for

... 1899 - 664.65

... $1234.35

Now, this price is further reduced by 20%

20% = 20/100 = 0.20

... 0.20 × 1234.35

... $246.87

This is 20% of 1234.35

Now, the price it would be sold for =

... $1234.35 - $246.87

... $987.42 is the final price the sofa would be sold for.

Hope my answer helps!!
