what was the price of the jeans before tax?

A. 8.40
B. 16.80
C. 33.60
D. 42.00

Answer 1

to find the answer you take the 56 and times it by .75 then take that number and times it by .80, to get those number you take the percentages and subtract then from 100.

the answer is C 33.60

Answer 2

C. 33.60

that would be because 25% of 56 is 14 so 56-14=42
and 20% of 42 is 8.40
so 42-8.4= 33.60

$33.60 is your answer
