The original price of a ski jacket was $260. It was on sale at a 25% discount. Arianna had a coupon for an additional 10% off the sale price.
What price did Arianna pay for the ski jacket?
A.
$185.00
B.
$195.00
C.
$175.50
D.
$169.00
First, we need to find the sale price of the ski jacket by applying the 25% discount to the original price:
25% of $260 = $260 * 0.25 = $65
Sale price = $260 - $65 = $195
Next, we need to apply the additional 10% off coupon to the sale price:
10% of $195 = $195 * 0.10 = $19.50
Price paid by Arianna = $195 - $19.50 = $<<195-19.5=175.50>>175.50
Therefore, Arianna paid $175.50 for the ski jacket.
Answer: C. $175.50
To calculate the price Arianna paid for the ski jacket, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the sale price after a 25% discount.
Original price of the ski jacket = $260
Discount = 25%
Sale price = Original price - (Discount % x Original price)
Sale price = $260 - (0.25 x $260)
Sale price = $260 - $65
Sale price = $195
Step 2: Calculate the price after the additional 10% off coupon.
Price after coupon = Sale price - (Coupon % x Sale price)
Price after coupon = $195 - (0.10 x $195)
Price after coupon = $195 - $19.50
Price after coupon = $175.50
Therefore, Arianna paid $175.50 for the ski jacket, which is option C. $175.50.
