    We pay 18 percent of the original price

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = the original price

    We get 60 % off on clearance

    That means we pay 100-60 = 40 % of the original price

    New price =.4x

    Now we get an additional discount of 55% off the new price.

    100-55 =.45

    We will have to pay 45% of the new price

    .45 (.4x) =.18 x

    We pay 18 percent of the original price
