Question

A pair of jeans that regularly cost $75 is on sale for 30% off. Hannah has a coupon for an additional 15% off, which is calculated after the initial discount. How much will Hannah pay for the jeans?

Answer 1

Answer: 44.63 dollars

===========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

If Hannah saves 30%, then she pays the remaining 70%, which then converts to the decimal form 0.70

The 15% discount leads to her paying the remaining 85% and that converts to the decimal 0.85

We'll multiply 0.70 and 0.85 to find the net discount

0.70*0.85 = 0.595

After combining both discounts, she pays 59.5% of the original price.

If the original price was $75, then she pays 0.595*75 = 44.625 = 44.63 dollars after applying both discounts.
