Double Percentage Trap: Is It Really the Same?
Fatima S
A store increases the price of a jacket by 20% and then gives a 20% discount on the new price.
Is the final price the same as the original price?
If yes, prove it.
If no, find the final price in terms of the original price.
Take your time and think carefully!
Tell me when you’re ready for the answer or a hint!

The final price is $96 not $100. So no, the final price is not the same as the original.Add a comment
