An electronics superstore normally sells a new smartphone for $200, but it is currently offering a 50% discount off the price. The same phone is available online for $200; the website is offering 25% off the phone, plus another 25% discount off all purchases. Where should you buy the phone to get the better deal? Why?

Respuesta :

You should buy the phone with the 50% discount.

If you buy this phone, the cost will be $100.  If you buy it through the website, you would first take 25% off:

200-(0.25*200) = 150

Then you take another 25% off:
150 - (0.25*150) = 112.50.

It is cheaper to take the 50% discount.

You should buy the phone at the electronic superstore at a 50% discount to get a better deal compared to the website.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a given amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator percentage is represented by the one symbol %.

The percentage is also called the indicating hundredths. Thus, 3% is two-hundredth, which means 3%=3/100=0.03.

Given that the cost of a smartphone =  $200

Discount offer = 50% off

So the amount to be paid = $200 - 0.50 × $200 = $100

Now by purchasing through the website cost of a smartphone = $200

Discount 25% so it will be $200 -0.25 × $200 = $150.

Other 25% off will be $150 - 0.25×$150 = $112.5 hence, it will good to buy the phone at the electronics superstore.
