First, the item goes on sale for 25% discount which means that the price will now be only 75% of the original price.

Case 1: Price = ($80) (0.75) = $60

Then, the item is sold for additional discount of 10% which the new price is only 90% of the supposed price.

Case 2: Price = ($60) (0.90) = $54

Answer: $54
