question 13 of 20. employees of a discount appliance store receive an additional 20% off of the lowest - price on an item. if an employee purchases a dishwasher during a 15% off sale, how much will he pay if the dishwasher originally cost $450? a) $280.90 b) $287 c) $292.50 d) $306

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the price after 15% - off

The price after a 15% - off on the original price of $450 is $450\times(1 - 0.15)$. $450\times(1 - 0.15)=450\times0.85 = 382.5$.

Step2: Calculate the price after an additional 20% - off for employees

The employee price is $382.5\times(1 - 0.2)$. $382.5\times(1 - 0.2)=382.5\times0.8=306$.

Answer:

D. $306
