Question

The sale rack at the department store said that an additional 30 percent discount would be taken on all items. If a dress on the sale rack had an original price of $86 and was already marked down by 25 percent, what is final cost of the dress before taxes?

Answer 1

45.15 in total

Explanation:

86 x 25/100

86 x 0.25

$21.50 was saved with 25 percent off

final price = 64.50 + 30% off

64.5 x 30/100

64.5 x 0.3

$19.35 saved with 30% off

64.50-19.35=45.15 in total
