Sam bought a new couch on sale at the discount furniture store. The original cost of the couch was $550. The sale price was $449. Sam has a coupon for 30% off the couch if he bought a $99 lamp. If he bought the $99 lamp, what was total cost of his couch and lamp before tax?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total cost of couch and lamp before tax =[tex]\$484[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original price of couch =$550

Sale price of couch = $449

Discount on couch =30%

∴ Discount offered =[tex]30\%\ of\ Original\ price=30\%\ of\ 550=0.3\times 550=\$165[/tex]

Price of couch after discount = [tex]\textrm{Original price- Discount}[/tex]=[tex]550-165=\$385[/tex]

Cost of lamp =$99

Total cost of couch and lamp = [tex]\$385+\$99=\$484[/tex]
