Q. c. A television regularly priced at

\$ 300

was placed on sale for

20 \%

off. When the television still did not sell, the sale price was reduced

20 \%

for clearance. What was the clearance price of the television?

Calculate First Discount: First discount of $20$ % on the original price of $\$$ $300$ . $\newline$ Discount Amount = Original price $*$ Discount percentage $\newline$ = $300 \times \frac{20}{100}$ $\newline$ = $300 \times 0.2$ $\newline$ = $\$$ $60$
Calculate Sale Price: Sale price after first discount. $\newline$ Sale price = Original price - Discount $\newline$ Sale price = $300 - 60$ $\newline$ Sale price = $\$240$
Calculate Second Discount: Second discount of $20$ % on the sale price of $\$240$ . $\newline$ Discount Amount = Sale price $*$ Discount percentage $\newline$ = $240 \times \frac{20}{100}$ $\newline$ = $240 \times 0.2$ $\newline$ = $\$48$
Calculate Clearance Price: Clearance price after second discount. $\newline$ Clearance price = Sale price - Discount $\newline$ Clearance price = $240 - 48$ $\newline$ Clearance price = $\$192$
