The store had marked them down by 25 percent, and Seema had a 20 percent off coupon as well.Original price: $5625%25%25%25% $4220%20%20%20%20% $8.40$8.40$8.40$8.40What was the price of the jeans before tax?

Answer
A
$8.40
B
$16.80
C
$33.60
D
$42.00

Explanation

First apply the 25% markdown: 25% of $56 is $14, so the sale price is $56 − $14 = $42. Then apply the 20% coupon to $42: 20% of $42 is $8.40, so the price before tax is $42 − $8.40 = $33.60. The correct choice is $33.60.
