Nachelle bought some belts online for $80. She used a coupon code to get a 40% discount. The website also applied a 15% processing fee to the price after the discount. How much did Nachelle pay, in the end? Round to the nearest cent.

ANSWER:

$55.2

Explanation:

The first thing is to calculate 40% of the $ 80 and subtract it from the original value, just like that


80-(80\cdot(40)/(100))=80-32=48

Then, we do the same for this 48%, and we apply the processing fee which is 15%, like this


48+(48\cdot(15)/(100))=48+7.2=55.2

Which means that in total you will pay $55.2
