Jordan works at a bakery. The owner tells Jordan she wants to take 20% off a $75.00 cake. If the cake still doesn't sell, the owner will again reduce the price by 10%. Jordan tells the owner to reduce the original price by 30% because the sale price would be the same.

Is Jordan correct?

Yes, the owner's method and Jordan's method both equal a 30% discount off the original price.

Yes, the sale price for both the owner's method and Jordan's method is $52.50.

No, Jordan's method has a greater effect on the sale price.

No, the owner's method has a greater effect on the sale price

No, Jordan’s method has a greater effect.
Jordan tells the owner to take off 30% from 75. it would make the cake $52.50 but the owner’s was is taking off 20% from 75 first, $60, then taking another 10% from 60, not 75, $54. they do not equal the same thing
