Question

All sale items are marked an additional 10% off the sale price. If a coat that originally costs $110 is on sale for 25% off, what is the new sale price? Is this a reduction of 35% off the original price

Answer 1

The new sales price is $74.25

Explanation:

110 x 0.25 = 27.5

110 - 27.5 = 82.5

82.5 x 0.10 = 8.25

82.5 - 8.25 = 74.25

Simply discounting 35% off the original price does not work in this specific problem.
