A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 35%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance items. What percent of the original price do you end up paying? g

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the item=x

The items have been marked down by 35%, therefore the new Value

= (100-35) % of x

= 65% of x

= 0.65x

If they are having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance items.

The new price relative to the original price

=0.65x - (30% of 0.65x)

=0.65x - (0.3 of 0.65x)

=0.65x-0.195x

=0.5x

You end up paying 50% of the original price of the good.
