(a)
Price to pay for the first item with discount in percent
= 100% - 5%
= 95%
Amount paid for the toy figurine
= 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 toy car
= 60% x 11
=
60100 x 11
= $6.60
Total amount paid for the two items
= 19.00 + 6.60
= $25.60
(b)
Total discount in percent
= 5% + 40%
= 45%
45% of the price = 10.35
1% of the price = 10.35 ÷ 45 = 0.23
100% of the price = 100 x 0.23 = 23
Price of each board game = $23
Answer(s): (a) $25.60; (b) $23
