(a)
Price to pay for the first item with discount in percent
= 100% - 5%
= 95%
Amount paid for the marble
= 95% x 20
=
95100 x 20
= $19.00
Price to pay for the second item with discount in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Amount paid for the frisbee
= 70% x 11
=
70100 x 11
= $7.70
Total amount paid for the two items
= 19.00 + 7.70
= $26.70
(b)
Total discount in percent
= 5% + 30%
= 35%
35% of the price = 11.55
1% of the price = 11.55 ÷ 35 = 0.33
100% of the price = 100 x 0.33 = 33
Price of each board game = $33
Answer(s): (a) $26.70; (b) $33
