Question

Hank is buying a shirt that originally cost $25.00. It was on sale two weeks ago for 10% off. Today, it is an additional 20% off the original price. How much is the shirt now?​

Answer 1

$18

Explanation:

The initial price is $25

When the first 10% is off, the new amount is (100 - 10)% x 25

= 0.9 x 25

= 22.5

With an additional 20%

the new amount is (100 - 20)% x 22.5

= 0.8 x 22.5

= $18
