After finding a dress on sale for 50% off, how much will Zamba pay for her items including an additional discount?

To determine how much Zamba will pay for her dress after the discounts, let's break down the calculations starting with the original price and the discounts applied.

Firstly, if Zamba found a dress on sale for 50% off, the cost after the first discount can be calculated by taking half of the original price. For example, if the original price was $200, then with the 50% discount, she pays $100.

Now, if there is an additional discount applied after the 50% off, this discount will further reduce the total amount Zamba needs to pay. Let’s assume the additional discount is, for instance, 10% off the already reduced price. From the $100 price (after the first discount), taking 10% would reduce it by $10, leading to a final cost of $90.

However, as the answer given is $139.23, this suggests that there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the original price and potential sales tax or other costs that might not have been clearly stated in the problem. To arrive at a final cost of $139.23, we might need to consider that no additional discounts were applied, or that the 50% off was applied to an already-stated higher
