A store charges $280 for a certain coat. This price is 40 percent more than the amount it costs the store to buy one of these coats. At the end-of-season sale, store employees can purchase any remaining coats at 30 percent off the store’s cost. How much would it cost an employee to purchase a coat of this type at this sale?
