Explanation / Answer

1)

after 15% discount = 12750- (15% of 12750 )= $10837.5
after discount of 25% = 10837.5 - (25% of 10837.5) = $8128.13
after discount of 15% = 8128.13 - (15% of 8128.13) = $6908.9

Total discount = $12,750 - 6908.9 = $5841.1

pecentage = 5841.1/12750 *100% = 45.81%

3. S.I. = P*R*T/100 = (3749*8.25*9)/100*12

= $231.96

5. Compound Interest:

Amount = Principal ( 1 + r/100)^n

= 7000( 1+ 0.08)^9

= 13993 $

Interest = $ 6993.03
