A pair of shoes jeremy has been watching for weeks finally went on clearance for 60% off the original ticket price of $180. When he gets to the register he finds out that all clearance items are an additional 20% off the sale price. Does that mean the shoes are 80% off the original ticket price? Explain.

No.

Scenario A

$180*40%=72
