A store purchased a hammock and marked it up 125% from the original cost of $36.57.
Then, wanting to make room for summer inventory, the store placed the hammock on sale for
45% off. What was the price after the discount?
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$20.57

36.57 x 125% (or 1.25) = $45.7125

and

$45.7125 x 45% (or .45) = $20.570625 which rounded up is $20.57
