A $55 pair of shoes was discounted 15 percent, making the sale price $46.75. The discounted price was then discounted again by 10 percent. Explain how you would find the final price of the shoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The final price will be the discounted price multiplied by 100% — 10%. I could also multiply the discounted price by 0.10 and subtract that amount from the discounted price to get the final price.
