Question 421465
retail price of rugs is $35.00


25% off gets the price down to $35 - .25*$35 = $26.25


additional 10% off sale price gets it down to $26.25 - .10*$26.25 = $23.625


you first multiply the retail price by (1-.25) = .75


you then multiply the sale price by (1-.10) = .9


you can the whole thing into one operation as follows:


$35 * .75 * .9 = $23.625
