Answer 1

The answer is $1.80.

Explanation:

Turn 25% into a fraction and subtract it from og price

3-25/100=75/100=0.75

you saved $0.75

Take saved price and subtract it from og price

Then 3-0.75=2.25

$2.25 is the price before coupon.

Now take the coupon and turn it into a fraction and subtract from 2.25

2.25-20/100=45/100=0.45

you saved $0.45 more

Take saved price and subtract it from og price

2.25-0.45=1.80

So 1.80 would be the official final price
