Kamila Hartman · Answer 2

c. 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The discounts to be enjoyed by the savvy shopper will be deducted from the original cost of goods bought by the shopper.

If the shopper's cost is x and he enjoys a 25% off coupon with the store's existing 25% off sale, then he is expected to pay

= x - (25% of x) - (25% of x)

= x - (50% of x)

= (50% of x)

The right option is c. 50%
