    The answer is 3,920 cents

    Explanation:

    First, let us calculate the discounted price of 20% off the original price:

    original price = $70

    discount on sale = 20%

    ∴ discount price = (20/100) * 70 = 0.2 * 70 = $14

    ∴ new price = 70 - 14 = $56

    Next, we are told that for clearance sale, there was an additional 30% off the sale price, then the final price is;

    sale price (discounted price) = $56

    clearance discount = 30% = 0.3

    clearance price = 0.3 * 56 = $16.8

    ∴ Final price = 56 - 16.8 = $39.2

    Finally we will convert from dollars to cents

    $1 = 100 cents

    ∴ $39.2 = 100 * 39.2 = 3,920 cents.
