Question

Indigo Depot is having a clearance sale of their summer items. A swimsuit that originally cost $90 before any discount is on sale for 20% off. If the swimsuit is then put on clearance for an additional 40 % off the sale price, what is the final price? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original cost = 90$

First discount rate = 20%

Second discount rate = 40%

Total discount rate = 60%

Therefore 60/100 * 90

0.6 *90 = $54

Final price = $54

Answer 2

Answer:

$43.20

Step-by-step explanation:

A swimsuit that originally cost $90 before any discount is on sale for 20% off.

X = price of swimsuit

X = 90

20% off = 90 * 0.8 = 72

The swimsuit is then put on clearance for an additional 40 % off the sale price.

72 * 0.6 = 43.2

what is the final price?

$43.20
