Answers

  1. Answer: the price of the first washing machine is $347 and the price of the second washing machine is $356. Then compare them 347 O 356
    It would be < because the sale price of the machine is more.
    Step-by-step explanation: The first machine is marked down(in price) by 30% so 440-100 ($440 is = to 100 because its saying the price is 100% no mark downs or anything. Then you find the price is $347 since it has a 30% mark down.
    The second machine is marked down by 20% with an extra 10% off, so 440-100 (100% in price) now you find how much that turns into, and it turns into $356
    so the first machine is this better one and cheaper one.

  2. Step-by-step explanation:
    The selling price is $495.
    The first washing machine:
    – is marked down by 30​%
    $495 – 100%
    $x – 100% – 30% = 70%
    Find the value of x:
    x=$495*0.7=$346.50=$347
    The second washing machine:
    – is marked down by 20​% with an additional 10​% off
    $495 – 100%
    $y – 100% – 20% = 80%
    Find y:
    Y=$495*0.8=$396
    Now,
    $396 – 100%
    $z – 100% – 10% = 90%
    Find z:
    Z=$396*0.9=$356.40=$356
    the sale price of the first washing machine is $347 and the sale price of the second washing machine is $356. The second machine is more expensive.
