Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 6 Calculate Trade Discounts and Understand Why They are Given The result is the net cost or net price, which is the amount paid by the buyer Find the net cost with the following formula. Net cost = List price – Trade Discount

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 7 Example The list price of a Texas Instruments calculator is $96.50, and the trade discount is 15%. Find the net cost. First find the trade discount; then subtract the discount from the list price of $ Trade discount = 15% of $96.50 = $24.13 Net cost = $96.50 – $24.13 = $72.37 The net cost of the calculator is $72.37.

Sometimes two or more discounts are combined into a series, or chain, discount. A series discount simply refers to more than one discount in a series.

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 9 Differentiate Between Single and Series Discounts For example, the series discount 20/10 means to first apply a 20% discount. Start with the amount after the first discount and then apply another discount of 10%.

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 11 Calculate Each Series Discount Separately Three methods can be used to calculate a series discount and net cost Calculating discounts separately Complements Use a table

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 12 Example Target is offered a series discount of 30/15 on a bed set with a list price of $125. Find the net cost after the series discount. Apply the first discount in 30/15, 30%. Discount = 30% of list price of $125 = $37.50

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 13 Example Amount after 1st disct = $125 – $37.50 = $87.50 Now apply 2 nd discount, 15%, to $ Discount = 15% of the discounted amount = 15% of $87.50 Net cost = $87.50 – $13.13 = $74.37

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 14 Use Complements to Calculate Series Discounts Complement of a discount: subtract the decimal form of the discount from 1 DiscountDecimalFinding Complement 10%.11 –.1 =.90 20%.201 –.2 =.80 25%.251 –.25 =.75 30%.301 –.3 =.70 62%.621 –.62 =.38

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 15 Finding the Discount Using Net Cost Equivalent 1.Find the complement of each discount in the series discount. 2. Find the net cost equivalent by multiplying the complements from step The net cost after the discount is the list price times the net cost equivalent.

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 16 Example Samsung offered a series discount of 20/10 on a Television with a list price of $480. Find the net cost after the series discount. Step 1DiscountDecimalFindComplement 20%.21 –.2 =.8 10%.11 –.1 =.9 Step 2Net cost equivalent =.8 ×.9 =.72

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 17 Example Step 3Net cost after discount = List price × Net cost equivalent = $480 ×.72 = $ To find the actual discount, subtract the net cost after discount from the original price. Discount = Original price – Net cost after discount = $480 – $ = $134.40

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 18 Use a Table to Find the Net Cost Equivalent of Series Discounts Use a table to find net cost equivalents

Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 19 Example Use the previous table to find the net cost equivalents of the following series discounts. (a) 10/10 (b) 20/10 (c) 25/25/5 (d) 35/20/15
