Bookshelve

Bookshelves with an original price of € 200 have twice become cheaper. After the second 15% discount, the price was € 149.60. Determine how much % becomes cheaper for the first time.

Correct answer:

p =  12 %

Step-by-step explanation:


200·(1-p/100)·(1-15/100)=149.60

170p = 2040


p = 2040/170 = 12

p = 12
