Cody bought 5 magazines. The original price of each magazine was $32. He was given 10% discount on the first magazine and 25% discount on the rest of the magazines. How much did he pay for the 5 magazines altogether?
Cost of the first magazine after 10% discount in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Cost of the first magazine after discount
= 90% x 32
=
90100 x 32
= $28.80
Number of the rest of the magazines that enjoyed 25% discount
= 5 - 1
= 4
Cost of each of the rest of the 4 magazines after 25% discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Cost of each of the rest of the 4 magazines
= 75% x 32
=
75100 x 32
= $24
Cost of the rest of the 4 magazines that enjoyed 25% discount
= 4 x 24
= $96
Total cost for the 5 magazines
= 28.80 + 96
= $124.80
Answer(s): $124.80
