Question

Kim's Discount Clothing is offering 30% off store-

wide, and then an additional 10% off the sale
price on all winter sweaters. What percentage is
being discounted from the original cost of the
winter sweaters given no sales tax?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

....coefficients are calculated

30% discount = 1-(30/100)= 0.7

10% reduction = 1-(10/100) = 0.9

10% reduction =1-(10/100)=0.90

overall evolution coefficient: 0.7*0.9*.09=0.567

percentage of initial cost of winter sweaters, excluding sales tax: (0.567-1)*100=-43.3%.

% decrease = 43.3%
