Given :

The original price of the jeans was $56.

The store had marked them down by 25 percent and Seema had a 20 percent off coupon as well.

To Find :

The price of the jeans before tax.

Solution :

Discount offered by store :

Discount = 0.25×56 = $14 .

Selling price = $( 56 - 14 ) = $42 .

Discount offered through coupon on selling price :

Discount = 0.20×42 = $8.4 .

Final price = $( 42 - 8.4 ) = 4= $33.6 .

Therefore, the price of the jeans before tax is $33.6 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
