Question

A local department store had a Saturday special. It offered an additional 25% discount on shirts that were already marked down 50%. How much did Megan pay for a shirt that originally sold for $40?

A. $10


B. $15


C. $20


D. $30

Answer 1

The answer should be B

Answer 2

Assuming original means the price before ANY discounts:

40 x (1-0.5)

40x0.5 = 20 [50% dis]

20x (1-0.25)

20(0.75) = "15"
