Answer 1

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
