Question
Omar bought a pair of shoes for $20 \%$ off the original price and another $25 \%$ off the discounted price. If the shoes originally cost $\$ 45.50$, what was the final sale price?
Step 1
50$. The first discount is $20 \%$ off the original price. So, the price after the first discount is $80 \%$ of the original price. We can calculate this as follows: \[80 \% \times \$ 45.50 = \frac{80}{100} \times \$ 45.50 = \$ 36.40\] Show more…
