Sagot :

The original cost of the Jacket is $76

The price was marked down 25%

→ First, calculate how much does the 25% discount represent:

[tex]\frac{76\cdot25}{100}=19[/tex]

→Second, subtract the obtained amount from the original price, to determine the price with a discount.

[tex]76-19=57[/tex]

The Jacket with a 25% discount costs $57

She paid for the Jacket with a 10% coupon. This discount will be applied to the sale price, not the original price of the Jacket

→ Calculate the 10% of the price with the discount

[tex]\frac{57\cdot10}{100}=5.7[/tex]

→Subtract the amount from $57 to determine the final price

[tex]57-5.7=51.30[/tex]

The final price for the Jacket is $51.30
