Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given

original price= $60

discount =20% of 60

discount = 20/100*60

discount = 0.2*60

discount = $12

selling price= 60-12= $48

Added price= 10% off $48

Added price= 10/100 *48

Added price= 0.1 *48

Added price= $4.8

new price= 4.8-48=$43.2

the new price of the jacket is $43.2

1. The jacket is now 40% off its original price

40/100*60=$24-----False

2. The jacket now costs $48.00-----False

3. The jacket is now 72% of its original price= 72/100*60=$43.2----True

4. The jacket now costs $43.20------True
