Eric bought a television and a home theater system. The original price of the television was $2600 and the original price of the home theater system was half the original price of the television. Eric was given a 32% discount on the home theater system. How much did Eric pay altogether?
Original price of the home theater system
= 2600 ÷ 2
= $1300

Discounted price of the home theater system in percent
= 100% - 32%
= 68%

100% of the price of the home theater system = 1300
1% of the price of the home theater system = 1300 ÷ 100 = 13
68% of the price of the home theater system = 68 x 13 = 884

Discounted price of the home theater system = $884

Total amount that Eric paid
= 2600 + 884
= $3484

Answer(s): $3484
