PSLEGlen bought one printer for $207 after a discount of 25%.
- What was the price of the printer before discount?
- He paid $148 for a massage chair. The total discount for the printer and massage chair was $121. What was the percentage discount given for the massage chair?
(a)
Price of the printer after the discount in percentage
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
75% of the price of the printer = 207
1% of the price of the printer = 207 ÷ 75 = 2.76
100% of the price of the printer = 100 x 2.76 = 276
Price of the printer before the discount = $276
(b)
Discount of the printer
= 276 - 207
= $69
Discount of the massage chair
= 121 - 69
= $52
Original price of the massage chair
= 148 + 52
= $200
Percentage discount of the massage chair
=
52200 x 100%
= 26%
Answer(s): (a) $276; (b) 26%
