Question

A jacket costs 90 dollars at a store. Layla gets 0.7 off because her dad works at the store. Isabellia has a coupon 20 dollars off. How much will the jacket cost after the discounts?

A) $54
B) $70
C) $74
D) $80

Answer 1

The final cost of the jacket after applying a 70% discount and a $20 coupon would be $7. However, since this does not match any of the given answer choices, there may be a mistake in the provided information regarding Layla's discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the final cost of the jacket after Layla's discount and Isabellia's coupon, we first apply Layla's discount of 0.7, which means she gets a 70% discount on the jacket. To find this amount, we multiply the original price ($90) by 0.7. Next, we subtract Isabellia's $20 coupon from the discounted price.

Step 1: Calculate Layla's discount:

$90 × 0.7 = $63 (This is the amount of discount Layla gets)

Step 2: Subtract Layla's discount from the original price:

$90 - $63 = $27 (This is the price after Layla's discount)

Step 3: Apply Isabellia's $20 coupon:

$27 - $20 = $7 (This is the final cost of the jacket after both discounts)

Therefore, the final cost of the jacket after both discounts is $7, which is not one of the options provided in the question. It seems there may have been a mistake in calculating the discounts or a misunderstanding in the discount Layla gets. Layla's discount should be 30% off (0.3), not 0.7 off, to match any of the given answer choices.
