Question

Claire buys a jacket that originally cost $76. The price is marked down 25% for a sale, and Claire has a coupon to further reduce the marked down price by 10%. How much does Claire pay for the jacket?

Answer 1

Answer:

$51.30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find 25% of the original price, then we deduct that from the original price. Then, we find 10% of the price and deduct that also.

The original price is $76.

25% of $76 is:

$\frac{25}{100} * 76$ = $19

We deduct $19 from $76:

76 - 19 = $57

We find 10% of $57:

$\frac{10}{100} * 57$ = $5.7

Deducting this:

57 - 5.7 = $51.30

She will pay $51.30 for the jacket.
