1. A store is offering a sale of 15% off all items. What is the price of a $35 shirt after the discount? Round answers to two decimal places.
2. A customer paid $14.99 for a shirt that normally sells for $24.99. What
percent discount did the customer receive? Round your answer to the nearest
percent.
3. A customer and a sales person are arguing about a promotion and a coupon
applied after the promotional discount. The promotion is a 25% discount on
all items in the store. The coupon is an additional 20% off of the order. The
customer claims the 25% discount should be made before the 20% discount.
The sales person claims it does not matter which order to give the discounts.
Who is correct and why (make sure you prove your claim and include relevant
mathematical calculations - I am a skeptic and will doubt your answer unless
you have enough details to prove your conclusion).
