To calculate the final price of the jacket after both discounts, we need to apply the discounts sequentially.
Let's assume the original price of the jacket is $100.
First, the price is reduced by 10%. This means the jacket is now priced at 100 - (10% of 100) = $90.
Next, during the special sale, the price is discounted by another 10%. This means the jacket is now priced at 90 - (10% of 90) = $81.
To find the percent difference between the special sale price and the original price, we can use the formula:
Percent Difference = ((Original Price - Special Sale Price) / Original Price) * 100%
Percent Difference = ((100 - 81) / 100) * 100% = 19%
Therefore, the special sale price is 19% less than the original price of the jacket.
The correct answer is B. 19%.
