Answer:
The answer is 3,920 cents
Explanation:
First, let us calculate the discounted price of 20% off the original price:
original price = $70
discount on sale = 20%
∴ discount price = (20/100) × 70 = 0.2 × 70 = $14
∴ new price = 70 - 14 = $56
Next, we are told that for clearance sale, there was an additional 30% off the sale price, then the final price is;
sale price (discounted price) = $56
clearance discount = 30% = 0.3
clearance price = 0.3 × 56 = $16.8
∴ Final price = 56 - 16.8 = $39.2
Finally we will convert from dollars to cents
$1 = 100 cents
∴ $39.2 = 100 × 39.2 = 3,920 cents.
