Question

Indigo Depot is having a clearance sale of their fall items. A jacket that originally cost $90 before any discount is on sale for 20% off. If the jacket is then put on clearance for an additional 30% off the sale price, what is the final price? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

$50.40

Explanation:

90 - 20%:

We can use fractions to simplify this percentage:

90 - 2/10 = 90 - 18 = 72.

So before it was put on clearance, it was $72.

After it's put on clearance:

72 - 30% = 72 - 3/10 = 72 - 21.6 = 50.4

So the final price is $50.4.
