Eliza cannot decide which of two bicycles to buy. The original price of each is $380. The first is marked down by 50%. The second is marked
down by 30% with an additional 20% off. Which bicycle should Eliza buy if the bicycles are the same except for the selling price? Explain your answer.

Answer :

Answer:

Eliza should buy the bike that is 50% off. Its sales cost is $190. The other bike has been marked down twice, but still costs $212.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bike 1 = 50% off of $380 = 380 x 0.5 = $190

Bike 2 = 30% off of $380 = 380 x .7 = $266

             20% off of $266 = 266 x .80 = $212.80
