At the new store in town, girls’ jeans are sold at ½ off what the original price. The store does a promotion on Saturdays and takes off an additional 15% the sale price. Joann bought one of the jeans on Saturday. The original price on the tag was $45. What will Joann pay for the jeans after the discounts not including the sales tax?
Answer: $19.12
Explanation:
Since the jeans are usually ½ off the original price then that price would be:
½ x $45 = $22.5
The sale on Saturday will cut an additional 15% off so we must find out what $15% off the $22.5 as follows:
0.15 x $22.5 = $3.38
The final price will be:
$22.5 - $3.38 = $19.12
