The following question type requires student to understand that when 2 separate discounts are given, they are not cumulative.
(ie their numerical percentages cannot be simply added together.)
Such questions are common in P6 exams and can appear in both Paper 1 and 2.
But for the questions below, calculator usage is allowed.
Shayanne bought a watch from a store at Raffles Place.
There was a storewide discount of 20%.
Her credit card provided an additional 10% on the discounted price.
The original price of the watch at this store was $8000.
How much did Shayanne pay for the watch if she used her credit card?
(The total discount on the watch is definitely NOT 30%)
