Step-by-step explanation:
The question in English is
In an appliance store, a refrigerator with a price of 260€ was discounted by 15%; after one month it was discounted by another 15%. What is the price after the second discount? What is the percentage of total variation?
Part 1)
Find out the price after the second discount
we know that
[tex]15\%=15/100=0.15[/tex]
A) The first discount is equal to
260€(0.15)=39€
The price after the first discount is equal to
260€-39€=221€
B) The second discount is equal to
221€(0.15)=33.15€
The price after the second discount is equal to
221€-33.15€=187.85€
Part 2) Find out the percentage of total variation
we know that
The original price of 260€ represent the 100%
by using proportion
Find out the percentage that represent (260€-187.85€)=72.15€
[tex]\frac{260}{100}=\frac{72.15}{x}\\ \\x=72.15*100/260\\ \\x=27.75\%[/tex]
