Solusi
Jawaban
Let the original price of the phone be P.After the first price decrease of 30%, the price becomes:P - 0.30P = 0.70PAfter the second price decrease of 20%, the price becomes:0.70P - 0.20(0.70P) = 0.70P - 0.14P = 0.56PThe total decrease in price is P - 0.56P = 0.44PTherefore, the total percentage decrease is (0.44P / P) * 100% = 44%However, 44% is not one of the options. Let's re-examine the calculation. The mistake is in assuming the second discount is applied to the original price. It's applied to the *already reduced* price.The problem states successive discounts of 30% and 20%. Let's assume the original price is 100.* **First discount:** 100 - (30% of 100) = 100 - 30 = 70* **Second discount:** 70 - (20% of 70) = 70 - 14 = 56The final price is 56. The total decrease is 100 - 56 = 44. Therefore, the total percentage decrease is 44%.Since 44% is not among the choices, there might be a slight error in the question or the provided options. The correct answer based on the given information is a **44%** decrease. None of the multiple choice options are correct.
