Answer 1

Answer: Final price would be $80.64.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Coupon off = 20%

Off on everything = 20%

Save = 10%

So, Effective rate would be

`1-[(1-0.2)* (1-0.2)* (1-0.1)]\\\\=1-[0.8* 0.8* 0.9]\\\\=1-0.576\\\\=0.424`

Amount he pay before for the gift = $140

So, Amount of saving is given by

`140* 0.424\\\\=\$59.36`

So, Final price would be

`140-59.36\\\\=\$80.64`

Hence, final price would be $80.64.
