Question

A sweatshirt with a regular price of $34 is first discounted by 20% and then by an additional 10%. What is the final sale price?

Answer 1

Price of the sweatshirt = $34

First discount = 20% x $34 = 0.1 x 34 = $6.80

Price after discount = $34 - $3.40 = $27.20

Additional discount = 10% x $27.20 = $2.72

Price after additional discount = $27.20 - $2.72 = $24.48

Answer: FInal sale price = $24.48
