Jeanette purchased a concert ticket on a website.The original price of the ticket was $75.She used a coupon code to receive a 20% discount.The website applied a 10% service fee to the discounted price.Jeanettes ticket was less than the original price by what percent?
Question
Answer:
STEP 1:Find discounted price.
Discounted $= original $ - (original $ * % discount)
Discounted $= $75 - ($75 * 20%)
Discounted $= 75 - 15
Discounted $= $60
STEP 2:
Find discounted $ plus service fee.
Price plus fee= discounted $ + (discounted $ * service fee %)
Price plus fee= $60 + ($60 * 10%)
Price plus fee= 60 + 6
Price plus fee= $66
STEP 3:
Find % change.
% change formula= (new # - original #) ÷ original # x 100
% change= (66-75)÷ 75 x 100
% change= -9 ÷ 75 x 100
% change= -0.12 x 100
% change= -12%
***the negative indicates a decrease
ANSWER: Her ticket was less than the original by 12%.
