a dress on sale in a shop is marked at $ d . during the discount sale its price is reduced by 45 % . staff are allowed a further 40 % reduction on the discounted price . if a staff member buys the dress what will she have to pay in terms of d ?
effective discount = a + b + ab / 100 = - 45 - 40 + ( - 45 ) ( - 40 ) / 100 = - 67 sale price = d * ( 1 - 67 / 100 ) sale price = . 33 * d answer ( e )
subtract(divide(subtract(const_100, 45), const_100), multiply(divide(subtract(const_100, 45), const_100), divide(40, const_100)))
