Question

1. (10 points) While shopping, you find an awesome jacket in the clearance section

of a store. Items in the clearance section are marked 30% off of the original sale
price. On top of that, there is a sale going on which applies an additional 15%
discount to the sale price. If your jacket was originally priced at $85.50, what
is the price of the jacket after both discounts are applied?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer should be 47.025

Explanation:

30% + 15% equals 45% so 45% of 85.50 is 38.475 so you should take 38.475 away from 85.50 (the price) and you get 47.025 hope this helps
