2. A wholesaler purchased a pair of jeans from the manufacture for $40. The wholesaler then tried to sell the jeans for 140% of the purchase price. When customers wouldn't pay that price, the jeans were placed on sale at a 20% discount off the selling price. at the end of the season, a final reduction of 50% off the lowered selling price was given. how many dollars was the final price of the jeans?

20 cubes in a m
Dimensions of the cube would be:
20 X 20 X 20
8000 cubes

Buys for $40
140% = $56
120% (20% off selling price) = $48
70% (End of season, 50% off of $48) = $24
