Question

Shelby is walking through her favorite store and sees a shirt she likes being sold for $80.00. She then notices the store is having a 45% off sale on all items. Excited to purchase the shirt, she grabs it and goes to the cash register. As she’s taking out her wallet, she finds a coupon for 25% off (that is applied after the store’s sale). What is the final price of the shirt that Shelby pays after the two discounts?

a. $9.00
b. $33.00
c. $28.00
d. $52.00​

Answer 1

B. $33

Explanation:

First take off the initial 45% from 80 by multiplying it by .55

80x.55= 44

Then, take off the other 25% by multiplying the resulting 44 by .75

44x.75=33
