Simon bought a television and a portable air-conditioner. The original price of the television was $2200 and the original price of the portable air-conditioner was half the original price of the television. Simon was given a 36% discount on the portable air-conditioner. How much did Simon pay altogether?
Original price of the portable air-conditioner
= 2200 ÷ 2
= $1100

Discounted price of the portable air-conditioner in percent
= 100% - 36%
= 64%

100% of the price of the portable air-conditioner = 1100
1% of the price of the portable air-conditioner = 1100 ÷ 100 = 11
64% of the price of the portable air-conditioner = 64 x 11 = 704

Discounted price of the portable air-conditioner = $704

Total amount that Simon paid
= 2200 + 704
= $2904

Answer(s): $2904
