Answer:

a the assumption is that after the 60% discount, the 20% will contribute to the old price, not the adjusted price

b this is incorrect because the 20% discount will be added on after the 60% discount has been used

c the 500 dollars would turn to 100 dollars

d 40

e it would be best to first apply the 60% coupon first over the 20% coupon
