Question

Seema bought a new pair of jeans that were on sale. The original price of the jeans was $56. The store had marked them down by 25 percent, and Seema had a 20 percent off coupon as well.

Answer 1

The jeans would cost Seema $25.20.

Answer 2

$33.60

Explanation:

Original Marked Price = $56

Discount = 25%

25% is equal to 0.25 , Let us calculate the discount now.

Discount = 0.25 * $56 = $14

Selling price = $56-$14=$42

Coupon discount = 20% of Selling price

Let us calculate the coupon discount now.

= 0.20 * $42 = $8.40

Final selling price = $42-$8.40

= $33.60

Hence Seema will buy that jeans of $33.60
