Seth bought a pair of shorts. The original cost was $21, but the store was having a sale of 25% off. Seth also had a coupon for 15% off any purchase at checkout. How much did Seth pay for the pair of shorts?

Answer: $13.39

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you take 25% off 21, by multiplying 21*.25 which is 5.25

next, subtract 5.25 from 21, which gets you 15.75

next, add the 15% off coupon, by multiplying 15.75*.15 which is 2.3625

last, subtract 2.3625 from 15.75, which gets you 13.3875, or $13.39 rounded
