A $300 mountain bike is discounted by 30% and then discounted an additional 10% for shoppers who arrive before 5am. If you go to the store at 4:30 am, how much will you pay? I did 300^30 =90. 300 -90 ==210 ^ 10 =2.10. 210-2.10= 207.90. Is this correct?

You are almost there. You have everything right except the 10% off. $210*.10=21 $210-21= $189.
