A. sam purchased 3 games for $140 after a discount of 30%. what was the original price?
b. if sam had used a 20% off coupon and opened a frequent shopper discount membership to save 10%, would the games still have a total of $140?

a) $175 b) It will be $126

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 3 games= $140

Let the original price of games= $ x

Discount is given= 30%

According to question

x = $140

x = $140

x ×0.8= $140

x= $

x= $175

Hence, the original price of games $ 140

(b)  If Sam had given a discount of 20%

Again a discount = 10%

The price of games=$ 140

Now, the selling price will be= 175×

Now, the selling price will be= $ 126

Hence, the price will be different.

$450 is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

30% of 450 = 135

450-135=315
