Math Problem Statement

Rocco found a coupon for the sporting goods store that will get him 10% off the already discounted price. How much would the golf irons cost him if he used the coupon? Show your work.

Solution

The problem states that Rocco has a coupon for 10% off an already discounted price. However, the discounted price itself is not provided in the problem statement.

To solve this, we would typically follow these steps:

  1. Let the already discounted price be PP.
  2. The coupon gives a 10% discount, so the discount amount is: 0.10×P=0.1P0.10 \times P = 0.1P
  3. The final price after applying the coupon is: P0.1P=0.9PP - 0.1P = 0.9P

To get a final numerical answer, we need the actual discounted price. Do you have that information? If so, please provide it, and I can complete the calculation!

Meanwhile, here are five related questions for practice:

  1. If the original price was $200 and the first discount was 20%, what is the final price after applying Rocco's coupon?
  2. What is the percentage of total savings compared to the original price?
  3. If the sales tax is 8%, how much does Rocco pay in total after taxes?
  4. If Rocco also has a $5 off coupon, how should he apply it to maximize his savings?
  5. How much would Rocco save if the coupon was 15% instead of 10%?

Tip: When applying multiple discounts, always apply percentage discounts sequentially, not by adding them together!
