Question 284720: Sale prices at the Ajax Outlet Store are 50% below original prices. On Saturdays an additional discount of 20% off the sale price is given. What is the Saturday price of a coat whose original price is $180?
(A) $54 (B) $72 (C) $90 (D) $108 (E) $110 Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The original price of coat = $180
Ajax always sells at 50% discount
So their sale price = $90
On saturdays they sell 20% less
1/5 * 90= 18
90-18 = 72
They sell at $ 72 on saturdays
