Given :
The original price of the jeans was $56.
The store had marked them down by 25 percent and Seema had a 20 percent off coupon as well.
To Find :
The price of the jeans before tax.
Solution :
Discount offered by store :
Discount = 0.25×56 = $14 .
Selling price = $( 56 - 14 ) = $42 .
Discount offered through coupon on selling price :
Discount = 0.20×42 = $8.4 .
Final price = $( 42 - 8.4 ) = 4= $33.6 .
Therefore, the price of the jeans before tax is $33.6 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
