A store has a sale with 10% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an additional 40% off. Is this equal to a discount? Explain your answer. The total percent of reduction is % , so this __ * is or is not * __equal to a discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

We are told that the store offers off 10% of sales, this means that the store is offsetting the price down by 10% hence a price reduction.

Moreso, a coupon is a voucher entitling the holder to a discount off a particular product. the coupon is 40%, hence this is equal to a discount, that is price reduction by 40%.

Step two:

Say the price of an item is $100, a coupon if 40% will entitle the holder to only pay $60, that is

=40/100*100

=0.4*100

=$40 off

= 100-40

=$60

The total percent of reduction 10+40= 50%

This is equal to a discount on the sales price
