Mark bought a television and a washing machine. The original price of the television was $3200 and the original price of the washing machine was half the original price of the television. Mark was given a 19% discount on the washing machine. How much did Mark pay altogether?
Original price of the washing machine
= 3200 ÷ 2
= $1600

Discounted price of the washing machine in percent
= 100% - 19%
= 81%

100% of the price of the washing machine = 1600
1% of the price of the washing machine = 1600 ÷ 100 = 16
81% of the price of the washing machine = 81 x 16 = 1296

Discounted price of the washing machine = $1296

Total amount that Mark paid
= 3200 + 1296
= $4496

Answer(s): $4496
