(a)
Price to pay for the first item with discount in percent
= 100% - 5%
= 95%
Amount paid for the yoyo
= 95% x 20
=
95100 x 20
= $19.00
Price to pay for the second item with discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Amount paid for the marble
= 60% x 14
=
60100 x 14
= $8.40
Total amount paid for the two items
= 19.00 + 8.40
= $27.40
(b)
Total discount in percent
= 5% + 40%
= 45%
45% of the price = 13.05
1% of the price = 13.05 ÷ 45 = 0.29
100% of the price = 100 x 0.29 = 29
Price of each toy figurine = $29
Answer(s): (a) $27.40; (b) $29
