Worked Solution
Step 1: The laptop already costs $1 200 (after the 25% increase). This is the price Siti sees.
Step 2: Siti gets a 10% discount off $1 200.
$1 200 × 0.90 = $1 080.
Answer: Siti pays $1 080.
Note: The original price was $1 200 ÷ 1.25 = $960, but the 10% discount applies to $1 200, not $960.
Correct answer: $1 080
