Question

A department store is having a 55% off sale on all sport coats if you have a coupon for an additional 10% off any item how much would a $230 sport coat cost

Answer 1

$93.15 will be the cost of the sport coat.

Explanation:

Given that

Price of a sport coat = $230

Sale on all sport coats = 55%

So, discount sport coat as per sale:

`\$230 * 55\%\\\Rightarrow $230 * (55)/(100)\\\Rightarrow \$126.5`

So, discounted price offered to the customer = $230 - $126.5 = $103.5

It is given that the customer has an coupon of additional discount of 10% off:

So, he will have an additional discount of :

$103.5
`*` 10

`\Rightarrow 103.5 * (10)/(100)\\\Rightarrow \$10.35`

So, final cost for the customer of the product with price $230:

$103.5 - $10.35 = $93.15
