Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: The Price Before Tax Was $36

Answer 2

$36 was the price of the skateboard, before taxes.

Explanation:

The original price of the skateboard was $60.

The store had marked it down by 20 percent, and Will had a 25% off coupon as well.

This means first we will find 20% of 60 and then 25% on that amount.

`0.20*60=12`

So, price after discount becomes =
`60-12=48` dollars

And again
`0.25*48=12`

So, price after coupon =
`48-12=36` dollars

Hence, $36 was the price of the skateboard, before taxes.
