Explanation:
If you're given a 15% discount, then you still have to pay the remaining 85% (because 100% - 15% = 85%)
Rewrite 85% into 0.85
The multiplier for "15% discount" is 0.85
Similarly, the multiplier for a 6% discount is 0.94; note how 100% - 6% = 94% = 0.94
When we have multiple discounts chained together like this we find the product of the multipliers. So we multiply the 0.85 and 0.94 to get
0.85*0.94 = 0.799
After chaining together the two discounts, you will have to pay 79.9% of the original value. This means the overall discount is 20.1%
Take the result of 0.799 and multiply that with the marketed price of $3745 to get the final answer
0.799*3745 = 2,992.255 which rounds to 2,992.26
No, the bat will not fit. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of a diagonal of a face of the box is about 24 inches, and the length of the diagonal of the cube is about 29.4 inches. This is less than the length of the bat.
