the The Solution.
The marked price of the 72-inch TV = $1500
25% discount makes the actual discount to be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Actual Discount = 25 \% of 1500} \\ \text{ = }\frac{25}{100}\times1500=\text{ \$375} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the discounted price will now be
Discounted price = 1500 - 375 = $1125
He has an additional 10% internet coupon discount on already dicounted price ($1125) .
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Additional discount = 10\% of 1125} \\ \text{ =}\frac{10}{100}\times1125=\text{ \$112.50} \end{gathered}[/tex]a. The friend will save
[tex]\begin{gathered} 375+112.50 \\ =\text{ \$487.50} \end{gathered}[/tex]b. in percentage, he saved
[tex]\frac{487.5}{1500}\times100=32.5\text{ \%}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answers are:
a. $487.50
b. 32.5%
