SERIES OF PERCENTAGE CHANGES
23. In a mall we want to buy a mobile phone which costs is 350€. It’s January so they have discounts of 15%
of all prices. But it’s Tuesday the 13th so the increase the price by 2%; and, in addition, it’s evening so
they discount 4%. Calculate:
a) The variation rates of every proportional increase/decrease.
b) The total variation rate.
c) The final price of the mobile phone.
24. The price of a medicine without any taxes is 12€. If we have a medical prescription for it, we only have to
pay 40% of the total price. Knowing that the taxes are 4%:

b) Calculate the total variation rate.
c) Calculate the final price, if we have a medical prescription for it.
