1 answer

To calculate the price Arianna paid for the ski jacket, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the sale price after the 25% discount:

    Original price = $240
    Discount = 25% of $240 = 0.25 * 240 = $60
    Sale price = Original price - Discount
    Sale price = $240 - $60 = $180

  2. Calculate the additional 10% discount on the sale price:

    Additional discount = 10% of $180 = 0.10 * 180 = $18
    Final price after additional discount = Sale price - Additional discount
    Final price = $180 - $18 = $162

Therefore, the price Arianna paid for the ski jacket is $162.00.

The correct answer is C. $162.00.
