A department store purchases logo shirts at a cost of $10 per shirt. They increase the price 100% and put them on the sales floor. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%. After three monthly reductions, the final shirt from the shipment is sold. There is a 5% sales tax on the selling price. Explain the steps for finding the final cost to the customer for that shirt?
The original selling price is found by multiplying 100% by $10 and adding that to the original $10. The logo shirt goes on the sale floor for $20. Each of the next three months, the reduced price is found by multiplying the current sale price by 75%. The tax is found by multiplying 5% by the final discounted price and adding the tax to the final sale price.

A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%. The store employees get a 50% markdown off the current price. Macy works at the store and sees the shirts going into the second markdown month. She decides that since 25% + 25% + 50% = 100%, the shirts must be free to employees. What is Macy’s error?
Macy was calculating the employee price off the original amount each time instead of off the new selling price each month. Macy cannot add up all the discounts; she must apply them one by one.
