Luke bought a pair of jeans originally priced at $69.00. The jeans have been marked down 25%, and a sign posted on the rack where he found them says, "10% additional discount given at register." Which calculation will give the price that Luke will pay for the jeans, not including sales tax?
A. 69(0.35)
B.(0.65)
C.69 (0.75) (0.90)
***D. 69 (0.25) (0.10)
Plz help! I think its D but idkk.
not D.
If there is a 25% discount, you pay 75%.
and if there is a 10% discount, you pay 90%
Okay. So would it be C?
To calculate the price that Luke will pay for the jeans, we need to consider the two discounts separately and apply them to the original price.
First, we apply the initial discount of 25%. To find the new price after this discount, we multiply the original price by 0.75 (100% - 25% = 75% or 0.75).
So, the price after the initial discount is $69.00 * 0.75 = $51.75.
Next, we apply the additional discount of 10% at the register. To find the final price after this discount, we multiply the price after the initial discount by 0.90 (100% - 10% = 90% or 0.90).
So, the final price that Luke will pay for the jeans is $51.75 * 0.90 = $46.58.
Therefore, the correct calculation is option C. 69 * 0.75 * 0.90.
