Jeremy bought a $60 pair of sneakers on sale for 15% off. Then, he used a coupon that gave him an additional 10% off. Can Jeremy find the cost of the sneakers by adding the percents? Justify your -by finding 25% off of $60, and

-by finding 15% off of $60, and then subtracting 10% from that cost.

Jeremy cannot/ can find the cost by adding the percents.

.

25% off of $60 is equal to $45.00/35.00/25.00/45.90

.

15% off of $60, then subtracting 10% from that cost is equal to 35.00/25.00/38.25/45.90...

.

The two total costs are equal/not equal

can someone help me solve this question pls?

No, Jeremy can not find the cost of the sneakers by adding the percents, you have to math one sale discount at a time.

The answer is $45.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply $60 by 15%, getting $9. Subtract 9 from 60 and get the first discount price: $51. Then you will multiply 51 by `10% and get 5.1, subtract 5.1 from 51 and get your final sale price of $45.90. If you added the percents together you would get an incorrect value of $45. Close but not the correct answer.
