Question

Sandy bought a pair of shoes on sale for 40% off the original price and an additional 25% off the discount price. If the shoes originally cost $60, what was the final cost, without tax, that Sandy paid for the shoes?

Answer 1

Answer:

40% of 60 ------> $24 discount. So price with 40% discount is $36

20% of 36 ----->  $7.20 discount. So price with 20% discount is $28.80

Sandy paid $28.80 without tax
