A jacket originally priced at $50 is discounted 20%, and then an additional 10% is taken off the reduced price. What is the final price?
- A$35.00
- B$34.00
- C$36.00Correct
- D$30.00
Why: Apply the discounts in sequence, not by adding them. First: 50 x 0.80 = 40. Then: 40 x 0.90 = 36. The final price is $36.00. (Adding 20% + 10% = 30% off would wrongly give $35.)
