Each week, the remaining inventory shows that the swimsuits are not selling as well as Sammy
hoped they would. Sammy decides to mark the price down by 30%. He also mails out a coupon
that customers can use for an additional 20% off. One of his employees says that he should just
mark the price down by 50% since that will result in the same price. Apply the two discount
options to your swimsuit price from the previous page and label the price tags shown below. Is
the employee's reasoning correct? Why or why not?
