today everything in the Aeropostale 15% off you also have a coupon for 10% off what will be the final cost of a coat that originally cost $85 ​

Respuesta :

ooo okay. Let's start with that 15% off:

to find this you need to turn 15% into a decimal by dividing by 100:
15/100= 0.15
you then take 0.15 and multiply it by the cost of the shirt which is $85 to find out how much is taken off of the price and then take your answer and subtract it from $85:
(85)(0.15)=$12.75 off
$85.00-$12.75= $72.25 total after 15% is taken off

now, let's do the additional 10% off the same way except we will subtract the discount from $72.25
10/100=0.1
(85)(0.1)= $8.50 off
$72.25-$8.50=$63.75 as your final total

Answer:

$63.75 is the final cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Multiply 15% times $85 and get $12.75.

Next, Multiply 10% times $85 and get $8.50.

Add $12.75 and $8.50 to get $21.25.

Subtract $21.25 from $85 to get $63.75.
