The original price of a sofa was $ 600. During a seasonal sale, the sofa was reduced by 25 %. If a customer comes in during the sale and has a coupon that says 10% off any advertised price, how much will the customer pay for the sofa?
--------
original price: 600
sale price: 600(0.75)
price with coupon: 600(0.75)(0.90)
----------------------------------------
Equation:
Final price = 600(0.75)(0.90) = $405.00
---------

.
Price at seasonal sale:
600 - .25(600)
= 600 - 150
= 450
.
Price after additional 10% off:
450 - .10(450)
450 - 45
$405
