Fred bought a refrigerator and a washing machine. The original price of the refrigerator was $2400 and the original price of the washing machine was half the original price of the refrigerator. Fred was given a 23% discount on the washing machine. How much did Fred pay altogether?
Original price of the washing machine
= 2400 ÷ 2
= $1200

Discounted price of the washing machine in percent
= 100% - 23%
= 77%

100% of the price of the washing machine = 1200
1% of the price of the washing machine = 1200 ÷ 100 = 12
77% of the price of the washing machine = 77 x 12 = 924

Discounted price of the washing machine = $924

Total amount that Fred paid
= 2400 + 924
= $3324

Answer(s): $3324
