Max found a pair of jeans on sale for 40 percent off. He used a coupon for an additional 20 percent off. If the original price of the pair of jeans was $68, what is the final price of the pair of jeans before taxes?

A 40% discount leaves 60% of the original price: $68 × 0.60 = $40.80. The additional 20% discount applies to that sale price, so Max pays 80% of $40.80: $40.80 × 0.80 = $32.64. The final price is $32.64, choice B.
