What is the selling price of merchandise listed at $5,900 if discounts of 15%, 10%, and 4% are given?

after 15%, discount = $5,015

after 10%, discount = $5,310

after 4%, discount=  $5,664

Step-by-step explanation:

1.discount of  15 % of the price listed

so 15 % of $5,900 will be=    15/100      x 5900  =    885 $

 so after discounting the price =$5,900 - $885    = $5,015

2. discount of  10 % of the price listed

so 10 % of $5,900 will be=    10/100      x 5900  =    590 $

 so after discounting the price =$5,900 - $590    = $5,310

3. discount of  4 % of the price listed

so 4 % of $5,900 will be=    4/100      x 5900  =    236 $

 so after discounting the price =$5,900 - $236  = $5,664

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
