During a spring clearance sale, Sears advertise 1/4 off the list of Model II microwave ovens and an additional 1/5 off the sale price for ovens that are scratched or dented. If the list price of a Model II is $240, what is the sale price?

$ 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information above,

List price of model II = $240

Sale price of the clearance sale is 1/4 off the list price of Model II microwave oven and additional 1/5 of the sale price for oven that are scratched and dented.

Therefore,

Let the sale price be X,

= (1/4)*(list price) + (1/5)*X

X = (1/4)*(240) + (1/5)*X

X = 60 + (1/5)X

Solving for X,

X - (1/5)X = 60

(4/5)X = 60

X = (60*5)/4

= $75.
