Wesley bought a notebook and a home theater system. The original price of the notebook was $4000 and the original price of the home theater system was half the original price of the notebook. Wesley was given a 23% discount on the home theater system. How much did Wesley pay altogether?
Original price of the home theater system
= 4000 ÷ 2
= $2000

Discounted price of the home theater system in percent
= 100% - 23%
= 77%

100% of the price of the home theater system = 2000
1% of the price of the home theater system = 2000 ÷ 100 = 20
77% of the price of the home theater system = 77 x 20 = 1540

Discounted price of the home theater system = $1540

Total amount that Wesley paid
= 4000 + 1540
= $5540

Answer(s): $5540
