Indigo Depot is having a clearance sale of their spring items. All clearance items are marked an additional 35 % off the sale price. A dress that originally cost $120 beforeany discount is on sale for 20 % off. What is the final price? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

From the information provided, The original price had a discount of 35% slash during he clearance.

This means the clearance sales price would be;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Clearance price}=120-(120*0.35) \\ \text{Clearance sales}=120-42 \\ \text{Clearance sales}=78 \end{gathered}`

This means a dress that "originally" cost $120 now sells for $78 during the clearance sales.

The dress is now on sale for 20% off.

Therefore, the final price would be;

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Final price}=78-(78*0.20) \\ \text{Final price}=78-15.60 \\ \text{ Final price}=62.40 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

The final price is $62.40
