A dress on sale in a shop is marked at $D. During the discount sale its price is reduced by 15%. Staff are allowed a further 10% reduction on the discounted price. If a staff member buys the dress what will she have to pay in terms of D ?
Correct Answer: 0.765D
Explanation:
If the price is reduced by 15 %, then the new price will be 0.85D
If this new price is further reduced by 10%, the discounted price will be 0.9 x 0.85D = 0.765D
