Will bought a new skateboard that was on sale. The original price of the skateboard was $60. The store had marked it down by 20 percent, and Will had a 25% off coupon as well. What was the price of the skateboard before tax?

Answer:
$36 was the price of the skateboard, before taxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the skateboard was $60.
The store had marked it down by 20 percent, and Will had a 25% off coupon as well.
This means first we will find 20% of 60 and then 25% on that amount.
[tex]0.20\times60=12[/tex]
So, price after discount becomes = [tex]60-12=48[/tex] dollars
And again [tex]0.25\times48=12[/tex]
So, price after coupon = [tex]48-12=36[/tex] dollars
Hence, $36 was the price of the skateboard, before taxes.
