Jeremy bought a refrigerator and a washing machine. The original price of the refrigerator was $2200 and the original price of the washing machine was half the original price of the refrigerator. Jeremy was given a 39% discount on the washing machine. How much did Jeremy pay altogether?
Original price of the washing machine
= 2200 ÷ 2
= $1100

Discounted price of the washing machine in percent
= 100% - 39%
= 61%

100% of the price of the washing machine = 1100
1% of the price of the washing machine = 1100 ÷ 100 = 11
61% of the price of the washing machine = 61 x 11 = 671

Discounted price of the washing machine = $671

Total amount that Jeremy paid
= 2200 + 671
= $2871

Answer(s): $2871
