A manufacturer of skis offered chain discounts of 10/5/4 to many of its customers. Joe Jones ordered skis that had a total list price of $149,500. The amount of the trade discount is:

A$122,709.60
B$26,970.40
C$26,790.40
D$122,907.69
ENone of these

Verified Answer :

first, 
149,500 .10 = 14,950
149,500 - 14,950 = 134,550

then,
134,550 .05 = 6727.50
134,550 - 6727 = 127,822.55 
127,822.50 * .04 = 5112.90

trade discount = 14950 + 6727.50 + 5112.90 
26790.40

hope this help

Answer:

The correct answer is A. $122709.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The chain discounts offered by the manufacturer = 10% , 5% , 4%

Total Price of ordering the skis = $149500

First Discount is given to be 10%

So, Total Price after discount of 10% = 149500 - 10% of 149500

                                                             = 149500 - 14950

                                                             = $134550

Second Discount is given to be 5%

So, Total Price after discount of 5% = 134550 - 5% of 134550

                                                            = 134550 - 6727.50

                                                            = $127822.50

Third Discount is given to be 4%

So, Total Price after discount of 4% = 127822.50 - 4% of 127822.50

                                                           = 127822.50 - 5112.9

                                                           = $122709.60

Hence, Final Price of the trade discount = $ 122709.60

Therefore, the correct answer is A. $122709.60
