For Maths this week, my problem solving question was "There are currently three big tree stumps sitting in the way of where the bike track will go. The stump removal company have quoted $253 to get the three tree stumps removed. They are currently running a special of 20% off stump removal for the next week. If we book in during this time… What would the dollar amount of our discount be? What would the total price now be to get the 3 stumps removed? Now that we have calculated the price of removal, the company have made contact and said we can have a further 17% off if we pay in advance, what will the cost now be, if we take up their offer?" I did this problem solving with my friend, Arihia.
This is how I did it.
$253 - $50.60
$253 - $50 = $203 - 0.60 = $202.4
$202.4 - 7% = $162.4
17% off = $167.40
