The original cost of the Jacket is $76

The price was marked down 25%

→ First, calculate how much does the 25% discount represent:


(76\cdot25)/(100)=19

→Second, subtract the obtained amount from the original price, to determine the price with a discount.


76-19=57

The Jacket with a 25% discount costs $57

She paid for the Jacket with a 10% coupon. This discount will be applied to the sale price, not the original price of the Jacket

→ Calculate the 10% of the price with the discount


(57\cdot10)/(100)=5.7

→Subtract the amount from $57 to determine the final price


57-5.7=51.30

The final price for the Jacket is $51.30
