Jeremy bought a dishwasher and a portable air-conditioner. The original price of the dishwasher was $2200 and the original price of the portable air-conditioner was half the original price of the dishwasher. Jeremy was given a 17% discount on the portable air-conditioner. How much did Jeremy pay altogether?
Original price of the portable air-conditioner
= 2200 ÷ 2
= $1100

Discounted price of the portable air-conditioner in percent
= 100% - 17%
= 83%

100% of the price of the portable air-conditioner = 1100
1% of the price of the portable air-conditioner = 1100 ÷ 100 = 11
83% of the price of the portable air-conditioner = 83 x 11 = 913

Discounted price of the portable air-conditioner = $913

Total amount that Jeremy paid
= 2200 + 913
= $3113

Answer(s): $3113
