Question

Sale prices at the Ajax Outlet Store are 20% above original prices. On Saturdays a discount of 25% off the sale price is given. What is the Saturday price of a coat whose original price is $145?

I need help.
Ms. Sue
Sale prices are above the original prices??? That doesn't make sense.

It was on my homework! :(
I bet "original" is "wholesale" :)
multiply original by 1.20 then by 0.75
1.2*3/4 = .9
so
145 * .9 = $130.50
