QUESTION
A television set worth 32, 540 pesos is on sale at 12% discount. How much will Mr. Nievares pay for 3 sets of television?
GIVEN
SOLUTION
First multiply the original price by the discount percentage to get the discounted amount
Discount Amount = 32,540 x 0.12
= 3,904.8 pesos
Then subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the discounted price for one set.
Discounted price per set = 32,540 - 3,904.8
= 28,635.2 pesos
Now, to find the total cost for 3 sets, multiply the discounted price per set by the number of sets.
Total cost for 3 sets = 3 x 28,635.2
= 85,905.6 pesos
ANSWER
Therefore, Mr. Nievares will pay a total of 85,905.6 pesos for the 3 sets of television.
I hope it helps!
