A student buys a pair of jeans that regularly costs $65. The jeans are on sale for 30% off the regular price. What is the cost of the jeans after both

discounts?

Answer 1

Answer: After the 30% discount, the jeans cost $45.50

Explanation:

Change 30% into a decimal, 0.30, then multiply by the initial price, 65. You should get 19.50. Subtract 65-19.50 and you should get 45.50.
