Answer 1

The final cost of the pants is $ 12.

Explanation:

Given that at a store that is closing the pants normally cost $ 60.00 but it is discounted 75%, and they are also taking an additional 20% off, to determine what is the final price for the pants, the following calculation must be performed:

100 - 20 = 80

(60 - (60 x 0.75)) x 0.80 = X

(60 - 45) x 0.80 = X

15 x 0.80 = X

12 = X

Thus, the final cost of the pants is $ 12.
