Max found a pair of jeans on sale for 40 percent off. He used a coupon for an additional 20 percent off. If the original price of the pair of jeans was $68, what is the final price of the pair of jeans before taxes? $27.20 $32.64 $40.80 $54.40

Respuesta :

First, you need to take 40% off of the original price ($68) to find the discount. to do this, multiply 68 by 0.4 (.4 is 40% in decimal form). You should get $27. 20.  Next, you subtract this from 68- keep in mind that we found the discount, not the actual price. 68- 27.20= 40.8. Now, we multiply this by 20%, or 0.2- you should get 8.16. Subtract that from 40.8 to get $32.64

Answer:

$32.64
