What am I getting?



Around the Network

 

You know I'm kinda of sleep deprived right now (It's 1 in the morning and I'm being forced to stay up) and that makes my brain hurt.



Whatever you can argue for at the checkout.

And I was hoping for srs calculus to solve but alas.



I don't get the question. If you save 40% of 50% then that's 20% of original price so overall savings are 70% like it says on the board.



if the original price is  $1000

 

then 50%($500) OF $1000 leaves $500

 

so current ticketed price is $500

 

and 40%($200) off $500 leaves $300

 

so final price is $300

 

so total $700(70%) of $1000($1000)

 

 

SOLVED

Yeah, I know. But it's funny that they posted so many signs when they could just put 70%.

Maybe you could trick the cashier to giving you 90% off, LOL.

They couldn't put 70% though because then they'd have to reticket everything or people would get confused... because people are prone to mistakes.  Plus i mean half the time target doesn't even have their deals in the system right so you gotta make sure you even get the discount your supposed to.



You get 70% off.

Tricking cashiers should be posible as the system would show the 70% reduced price automatically in a well run store.
