Sneakers are on sale for 80% off their original price. In addition, Jade has a coupon that gives her 15% discount off the sale price. How much will jade pay before tax, for a pair of sneakers that originally cost $180?

80% of 180 Is 144 now we have to find 15% of 144 which is 21.59999999999998 which can be rounded up to $21.60

15% of 180 is 27 so we subtract that from 180 which equals 153 then we have to find 80% of 153 which is 122.4 which means that your answer should be $122.40
