Rita wants to buy a sweater that was originally priced at $25.00. Today the sweater is on sale for 40% off the original price.

Part A: What is the sale price of the sweater? dollars

Part B: Rita has a coupon for an additional 10% off the sale price. How much will Rita pay for the sweater before taxes? dollars

$25 x 40% = $10
$25 - $10 = $15

Part A: The sweater is $10 off. While, the sale price is $15.

$15 x 10% = $1.5
$15 - $1.50 = $13.50

Part B: Rita will pay $13.50 for the sweatshirt without taxes, but with taxes, she would pay $12.55.

Hopefully this helps!
