Asher bought a portable air-conditioner and a television. The original price of the portable air-conditioner was $3000 and the original price of the television was half the original price of the portable air-conditioner. Asher was given a 29% discount on the television. How much did Asher pay altogether?
Original price of the television
= 3000 ÷ 2
= $1500

Discounted price of the television in percent
= 100% - 29%
= 71%

100% of the price of the television = 1500
1% of the price of the television = 1500 ÷ 100 = 15
71% of the price of the television = 71 x 15 = 1065

Discounted price of the television = $1065

Total amount that Asher paid
= 3000 + 1065
= $4065

Answer(s): $4065
