Answer:the final answer is 33 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:first you would multiply 88 times 50 and then divide that by 100 which would give you 44 dollars. after that you take 44 as your new whole and multiply it by 25, you would then divide that by 100 which gives you 11 dollars. You then take 44 and subtract it by 11 and you will get 33 dollars as your final answer.

Answer: Jason paid $33 for the jacket

Step-by-step explanation: 50% of 88 is 44. Because it's percent off we subtract. 88-44=44. That's the discount price. Now we discount the discounted price. Remember that this is NOT a 75% discount, it's two separate discounts. 25% of 44 is 11. 44-11=33. The final price is $33.
