Question

Indigo depot is having a clearance sale for their spring items. All clearance items are marked an additional 35% off the sale price. A dress that originally goes for $90 before any discount is on sale for 20% off. what is the final price? round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

Given that a dress that originally goes for $90 before any discount is on sale for 20% off.

The price after a 20% off will be;

`\begin{gathered} p=\text{ \$90}*((100-20))/(100) \\ p=\text{ \$90}*0.8=\text{ \$72} \end{gathered}`

Recall that all clearance items are marked an additional 35% off the sale price.

Applying the additional 35% discount, we have;

`\begin{gathered} C=\text{ \$72}*((100-35))/(100) \\ C=\text{ \$72}*0.65 \\ C=\text{ \$46.80} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the final price would be;

`\text{ \$46.80}`
