Ajacket that originally costs 60.00 was on sale for 10% off. when it didn't sell after weeks, the sale price was discounted another 40% off the discounted price. what was the final price of the jacket? is the total discount equal to 50%?

original cost = 60.00

after 10% discount the price becomes :

60 * 10/100

6

price = 60 - 6  = 54.00

after 40% discount on discounted price:

54 * 40/100

21.6

new price = 54 - 21.6 = 32.4

final price of jacket = 32.4

since 50% of the original price will be 30.00

so, the total discount is not equal to 50% of the original cost

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: the answer for that is 22/3
