the original price of a television is $400. it is on sale for 30% off. a buyer has a coupon for an additional 25% off the sale price.
what is the price of the television for the buyer before taxes are included?
$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sale price after 30% off

The discount rate is 30%, so the remaining percentage of the original price is $100\% - 30\% = 70\% = 0.7$.
The sale price after 30% off is $400\times0.7 = 280$.

Step2: Calculate the final price after additional 25% off

The additional discount rate is 25%, so the remaining percentage of the sale price is $100\% - 25\% = 75\% = 0.75$.
The final price is $280\times0.75 = 210$.

Answer:

210
