$48.00 is the final price you pay.

Answer:

The final price that is paid for the jacket is:

                    $ 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual cost of jacket was: $ 100

The cost of the jacket was reduced by 40%

This means that the after reduction of 40% the jacket will cost:

[tex]100-\dfrac{40}{100}\times 100\\\\\\=100-40\\\\=60[/tex]

This means that the cost of jacket after 40% reduction is: $ 60

Also, there was a coupon that contains 20% off.

This means that the jacket will actually cost:

[tex]60-\dfrac{20}{100}\times 60\\\\\\=60-12\\\\\\=48[/tex]

                    The final price of jacket is:

                              $ 48
