On the final weekend of the 35% off sale the prices are cut further by 15%. The manager of the shop advertises a 50% off sale. Is she correct? Explain your answer.

No ..it's wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take it by choosing an arbitrary figure for the original price and let's say it's 500

When the price is reduced by 35% the new price would be

500 *[100-35]/100

500* 65/100= 325

When the price is reduced further by 15%,

The new price would be;

325 * [100-15]/100

325* 85/100= 276.25

To say the price was reduced by 50% of the original price would have been it reduced by half of the original price which would be

500/2 = 250

what is the question here

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
