Boxes of shablamceral originally cost $3.00. The store has reduced the price by 25%. You have a coupon for an additional 20% off the already discounted price. What is the final price of the cereal

The price of the cereal is $1.80

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the final answer, you need to start with the original cost and multiply it by the amount to pay. Since you have 25% off as the first discount, we need to pay 75%.

$3 * 75% = $2.25

Now we need to find how much it would be after the second discount. So we take the amount that we just found and multiply it by the amount to pay again. Since this discount is 20%, we need to pay 80%.

$2.25 * 80% = $1.80
