Answer 2

The final price that is paid for the jacket is:

$ 48

Explanation:

The actual cost of jacket was: $ 100

The cost of the jacket was reduced by 40%

This means that the after reduction of 40% the jacket will cost:

`100-(40)/(100)* 100\\\\\\=100-40\\\\=60`

This means that the cost of jacket after 40% reduction is: $ 60

Also, there was a coupon that contains 20% off.

This means that the jacket will actually cost:

`60-(20)/(100)* 60\\\\\\=60-12\\\\\\=48`

The final price of jacket is:

$ 48
