What price did Arianna pay for the ski jacket?

1 answer

To find out how much Arianna paid for the ski jacket, we first need to calculate the sale price after the 25% discount and then apply the additional 10% off with her coupon.

  1. Calculate the 25% discount: \[ \text{Discount} = 25% \text{ of } 280 = 0.25 \times 280 = 70 \]

  2. Calculate the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 280 - 70 = 210 \]

  3. Calculate the additional 10% discount: \[ \text{Additional Discount} = 10% \text{ of } 210 = 0.10 \times 210 = 21 \]

  4. Calculate the final price Arianna paid: \[ \text{Final Price} = \text{Sale Price} - \text{Additional Discount} = 210 - 21 = 189 \]

Therefore, Arianna paid $189 for the ski jacket.
