Question

Alyssa bought a pair of shoes online for $53. She used a coupon code to get a 20% discount. The website also applied a 20% processing fee to the price after the discount. How much was the discount , in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

The original price of the shoes was $53.

The discount percentage was 20%.

The discount amount was 53 * 0.2 = 10.6.

The sale price after the discount was 53 - 10.6 = 42.4.

The processing fee percentage was 20%.

The processing fee amount was 42.4 * 0.2 = 8.48.

The final price after the processing fee was 42.4 + 8.48 = 50.88.

Therefore, the discount was $10.60, and the final price was $50.88.
