Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A dress is marked at $250. If it is sold for $200 after two successive discounts of 10% and 20%, what is the selling price after the first discount?
  • Step 1: Start with the marked price of the dress, which is $250.
  • Step 2: Calculate the first discount of 10% on the marked price. To do this, multiply the marked price by 0.10 (which is 10%).
  • Step 3: Calculate 10% of $250: 0.10 * 250 = $25.
  • Step 4: Subtract the first discount ($25) from the marked price ($250) to find the selling price after the first discount.
  • Step 5: Calculate the selling price after the first discount: $250 - $25 = $225.
