So... if we take 22.8 to be the 100%, then it dropped to 12.1,
the difference in between being 22.8 - 12.1 or 10.7 decrease

so... what is 10.7 in percentage, of 22.8?
well
\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
22.8&100\\
10.7&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.8}{10.7}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

At a local clothing store, Morgan finds they are having a storewide 40% off sale. She also has a $15 coupon which applies to her
LuckyWell [14K]

Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon

Lets say her total was $150.

If you take the 40% off first, you get $90

150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)

Now you subtract 15 from that value.

90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.

If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135

150 - 15 = 135

The total will come out to be $81

$135 * .6 = 81

If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.
