Calculate the missing financial values for the equipment purchase described below.

Cevap:A veterinary clinic is purchasing a new digital ultrasound machine originally listed at

\$6,500

. The medical supplier is offering a

20\%

promotional discount. Because the clinic agrees to pick up the equipment themselves, they receive an additional

5\%

discount off the already reduced price.

The total discount amount the clinic receives is

\$【1560】

and the final price paid for the machine is

\$【4940】

The total discount amount is

1,560 and the final price is

4,940.

The first discount of 20% saves

1,300, bringing the price down to

5,200. The second discount of 5% applies to this new

5,200 balance, saving an additional

260. Subtracting the second discount from

5,200 yields a final price of

4,940. The total amount saved combines both discounts:

1,300 +

260 = $1,560.

Calculate the amount of the first discount.

$1,300

Multiply the original price ($6,500) by the first discount rate (20% or 0.20).

Calculate the price after the first discount.

$5,200

Subtract the first discount (

1,300) from the original price (

6,500).

Calculate the amount of the second discount.

$260

Multiply the reduced price ($5,200) by the additional discount rate (5% or 0.05).

Determine the final price.

$4,940

Subtract the second discount (

260) from the previously reduced price (

5,200).

Determine the total discount amount.

$1,560

Add the first discount (

1,300) and the second discount (

260).
