If the discount is 20% to begin with, then the customer would only pay 80% of the original price:
310%2A%280.80%29
248
So the first sale price was $248. Then the price was discounted another 25%, which means the customer would only pay 75% of the first sale price:
248%2A%280.75%29
186
Thus, the clearance price is $186
