A computer store regularly sells all stock at a discount of 20 percent to 40 percent. If an additional 25 percent were deducted from the discount price during a special sale, what would be the lowest possible price of a part costing $16 before any discount?

a) $6.80
b) $7.20
c) $9.60
d) $11,.30
e) $14.80

• lowest price would be when max discount is there.
  so (100-40)ie 60% of $16=9.6$
  then (100-25) ie 75% of 9.6$=7.2$ ie ans is b

• Final price after discount = 16*0.6*0.75 = $ 7.2

• first time maximum discount is 40% so price =16*60/100=9.6$
  after this 25% additional discount is given so final price =9.6*75/100=7.2$
