Question

A pair of jeans originally cost $80, but is on sale for 30% off. there is a coupon available for an additional 10% off of the sale price. how much do the jeans cost with the coupon?

Answer 1

30% = 0.3. 

0.3*80 = 24, so we know that 30% of 80 is 24. 

80 - 24 = 56, so after the sale, the price for a pair of jeans is $56.

10% = 0.1

0.1*56 = 5.6, so with the coupon, we get $5.60 off. 

56 - 5.60 = 50.40

The jeans cost $50.40 after the sale and the coupon.
