Question 4 • TX-College Prep Math A

The sale rack at the department store said that an additional 30 percent discount would be taken on all items. If a dress on the sale rack had an original price of $86 and was already marked down by 25 percent, what is final cost of the dress before taxes?

Answer
A
$38.70
B
$45.15
C
$47.30
D
$60.20

Explanation

First apply the 25% markdown: $86 × 0.75 = $64.50. The additional 30% discount means paying 70% of that price, so $64.50 × 0.70 = $45.15. The final cost before taxes is $45.15, choice B.
