Question

Eugene wants to buy jeans at a store that is giving $10 off everything the tag on the gene is marked 50% off the original price is $49.98 find the total cost if the $10 discount is applied before the 50% discount

Answer 1

Hello!

Subtract the $10 discount first:

49.98 - 10 = 39.98

Next, divide this price in 2 because 50% means half off:

39.98 / 2 = 19.99

So, the total cost of the jeans, after 2 discounts have been applied, is $19.99.
