a computer game was originally priced at 49.99. It was marked down 15%. It was later moved to the clearance rack that stated 50% off the lowest marked price. What was the final cost of the computer game
To find the final cost of the computer game, we need to calculate the discounted price twice.
First, let's calculate the discount when it was marked down by 15%:
Discount amount = 15% of $49.99 = 0.15 * $49.99 = $7.50
Discounted price = $49.99 - $7.50 = $42.49
Next, let's calculate the discount when it was moved to the clearance rack and marked down by 50%:
Discount amount = 50% of $42.49 = 0.50 * $42.49 = $21.25
Final cost = $42.49 - $21.25 = $21.24
Therefore, the final cost of the computer game is $21.24.
