Jim wants to buy some new shoes. a local shoe shop has a pair for $59.95 with a 10% discount. another shop has the same pair for $75.99 with a 25% discount. determine the amount of the lower price.

First option: The adjusted price of this item is 90% of the original price due to the 10% discount.
         
                   Price = ($59.95)(0.90) 
                    Price = $53.955

Second option: The adjusted price is 75% of the original price because of the discount amounting to 25% of the original price.
              
                  Price = ($75.99)(0.75)
                  Price = $56.99

Hence, the lower price is from the first choice.

$53.96

The advantage of administering personality tests on employees is that it will allow the employer to know the mindset and personality of the employee. this will allow the employer to at least have an idea as to how the employee works and how his attitude in the workplace. the disadvantage is that it may make the employee a little anxious as to whether he would meet the personality requirements of the employer and whether he would be able to retain the job or not.
