Todd bought a pair of jeans that cost $125 at full price. The jeans were on sale for 20% off. He then applied a coupon that took off $10. He paid with a store credit card that gave him another 10% off the remaining amount. How many dollars did he save on the original price of the jeans? Give me reasons, before answering the question

The jeans were on sale for 20% = 20 / 100 = 1 / 5 off, so the sale took 125 / 5 = $25 off. Thus, after the sale, the jeans cost $125 - $25 = $100. Todd’s coupon lowered the price to $100 - $10 = $90. The store credit card gave him 10% = 10 / 100 = 1 / 10 off, so the card took $90 / 10 = $9 off. Thus, he paid $90 - $9 = $81 for the jeans. Therefore, Todd saved $125 - $81 = $44 on the original price of the jeans. So the final answer is 44.
