Question

A department store marked down all of its summer clothing 29%. The following week the remaining items were marked down again 15% off the sale price. When Jorge bought two tank tops on sale, he presented a coupon that gave him an additional 21% off. What percent of the original price did Jorge save?

How would I set this up to solve?

Answer 1

(1-.29)(1-.15)(1-.21) = .71 * .85 * .79 = .476
That is the amount paid at the end,
so the final discount is 1-.476 = 52.4%
