Answer:
$25.3.
You paid 55% of original cost
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a shirt that was originally $46 has been marked down by 25%. They are having a sale that advertising an additional 20% off all sale items.
First of all, we will find 55% (100-25-20) of $46.
[tex]\text{Cost of shirt}=\$46\times \frac{55}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of shirt}=\$46\times0.55[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of shirt}=\$25.30[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of the shirt would be $25.30.
Now, we will find 25.30 is what percent of 46.
[tex]\frac{\$25.30}{\$46}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]0.55\times 100=55\5[/tex]
Therefore, you paid 55% of original cost.
