Question

jody really likes a coat that has a price of 124.99, buts it's too expensive. it goes oon sale for 20% off. then the next week it goes on sale for 40%o off the sale price. what is the new price of the coat after all the discounts

Answer 1

Original price about 125, 1/5 off is 25 off, down to 100

40% off means 60% is the last sales price = $60

but off by a few cents or so, since we rounded 124.99 to 125

use a calculator if you want a more exact answer but it should be very close to $60

$60.00 rounded up from 59.9952 Odds are the store listed it as $59.99 some psychological sales trick
