Gil and Beth want to purchase a new marching band uniform for a friend. All uniforms at Brad's Band Supplies are 50% off. While shopping the store announces a special sale for an additional 20% off the discounted price for all items. The uniform Gil and Beth want to buy cost $45.00. Before any discounts are applied Beth claims uniforms are 70% now. Gil disagrees and claims the total discount is not 70% off. Who is correct?

Respuesta :

The person that is correct is Beth because the total discount is 70% off before the discount took effect on the original price.

What is a discount sale?

A discount sale is defined as the selling of items at a price that is below the normal price is a way to show appreciation or to encourage the customers.

The first discount announced by the shop = 50% off.

The second discount announced by the shop= 20% off.

The total discount by the shop = 50 + 20 = 70% off.

The original cost of the uniform = $45.00

Beth is correct because when the discounts were added, the total discount is 70%.
