Maddie can not decide which of two Ski sets to buy. The original price of each is $850. The first ski set is marked 50% off. The second was marked down by 30% then a few days later an additional 20% off. 1. Find the sale price of the first ski set... 50% off. Show your work. 2. Find the Sale Price of the Second Ski Set Marked 30% then 20%. Show your work. 3. Which one is a better deal for Maddie and why?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first ski was valued at $850 but was then given a 50% discount. The sales price will therefore be:

= 850 * ( 1 - 50%)

= 850 * 50%

= $425

2. The first one was first discounted by 30% so the sales price was:

= 850 * ( 1 - 30%)

= 850 * 70%

= $595

It was then marked down by a further 20%:

= 595 * ( 1 + 20%)

= $476

3. The first ski is a better option because the discount makes it cheaper than the second ski even after the second ski had been discounted twice.
