Question: Dexter went to the mall and saw that Apple products are on sale. He wants to buy an iPhone 12 with a 15% discount and an iWatch with a 10% discount. The price tag shows that an iPhone 12 costs $800 while an iWatch costs $300. Upon check out, he will receive a further 2% cashback discount. How much would the items cost in total after the discount and cashback? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The discount for an iPhone 12 is $800 x 15 / 100 = $120. So, the iPhone will now cost $800 - $120 = $680. The discount for an iWatch is $300 x 10 / 100 = $30. So, the iWatch will now cost $300 - $30 = $270. The total cost of the iPhone and iWatch is $680 + $270 = $950. The cashback will be $950 x 2 / 100 = $19. Thus, Dexter will only pay $950 - $19 = $931. So the answer is 931.
