Question

A store is having a 10%-off sale. It gives an additional 20% off if the item is still above $100 after the first discount. A jacket costs $124.99. Will you get the second discount? You buy the jacket. If you get the second discount, how many dollars have you saved in total?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Answer 1

10% off $124.99 is $12.50 so it would go down to $112.49 therefore you do get the second discount. If you get the 2nd discount on the price after the 10% then 20% off $112.49 is $22.50. You would end up paying $89.99 and save $35.

Answer 2

After all of the discounts, $35 is the total amount you will save
