Answer 1

look below and can i have brainlyplus                                                             Start with the original price, $80.

If you take 20% off, then you will be paying 80% of the original price. Calculate 80% of $80.

80% of $80 = 80% * $80 = 0.8 * $80 = $64

After applying the 20% discount, the new price is $64.

Now you apply the 10% coupon.

Since you are taking 10% off the discounted price, you will be paying 90% of the discounted price.

90% of $64 = 0.9 * $64 = $57.6

The final discounted price is $57.60
