Jenson bought a home theater system and a refrigerator. The original price of the home theater system was $3400 and the original price of the refrigerator was half the original price of the home theater system. Jenson was given a 15% discount on the refrigerator. How much did Jenson pay altogether?
Original price of the refrigerator
= 3400 ÷ 2
= $1700

Discounted price of the refrigerator in percent
= 100% - 15%
= 85%

100% of the price of the refrigerator = 1700
1% of the price of the refrigerator = 1700 ÷ 100 = 17
85% of the price of the refrigerator = 85 x 17 = 1445

Discounted price of the refrigerator = $1445

Total amount that Jenson paid
= 3400 + 1445
= $4845

Answer(s): $4845
