The original price of a suit is $200. The price increased 30%, and after this increase, the store published a 30% off coupon for a one-day sale. Given that the consumers who used the coupon on sale day were getting 30% off the increased price, how much did these consumers pay for the suit?

A. $182
B. $191
C. $200
D. $209
E. $219

The original price of a suit is $200. The price increased 30%, ....
30% of $200 = $60
So, the NEW price = $200 + $60 = $260

...and after this increase, the store published a 30% off coupon for a one-day sale.
30% of $260 = (0.3)($260) = $78
So with the price with coupon = $260 - $78 = $182

Answer: A

Cheers,

The price paid for the suit was:

200 x 1.3 x 0.7

200 x 13/10 x 7/10

2 x 13 x 7 = 182
