Answer:
Malik payed $24.30
Step-by-step explanation:
> First, we need to determine what to do first; the coupon or the processing fee.
> It is traditional for stores to charge a fee on a reduced price. To put this simply, if there is a fee or tax, it is put upon the price that has been reduced by a coupon.
> Using this information, we can start with taking the 10% OFF of the original $30.00.
> This will get us $3.00, as with 10s, we can simply take or add a zero, depending on whether we are adding to or subtracting from.
> Since we were subtracting from (you always are with a percentage of something) we can simply take away one zero, as the 10% we are taking away only has one.
> Then we need to subtract that amount from the price, getting us $27.00. In case you do not understand why this is, here is an explanation; we are deducting money away from the original price, as this is what a coupon does. By taking away the amount of money needed to pay for the item, you are saving money. If the coupon takes off 10%, then you need to find what 10% of the original price is.
> We found this out earlier and got $3.00. We then need to take this away from the original price, and we get $27.00.
> This would be the final price if it weren’t for the fee. Now we have to do the opposite of what we just did, but with the $27.00 we found was the price with the coupon.
> As I said, we had to take away one 0 (Move the decimal place to the left one) for the 10%. We have to do the same thing to determine 10% of this price.
> By doing this we get $2.70. We then ADD this to the price, as the fee is ADDING money to the price, to make you pay more.
> We get $24.30 once we do this, so this is our final answer for the equation. Malik payed $24.30.
> I hope this helped with your query, and any other questions you may have on the subject. #LearningWithBrainly
