On Black Friday, two friends find the perfect winter coat, but in a noisy store, 15% off sounds a lot like 50% off.

Wow, Black Friday is crazy! Look at all these people!
I'm only here for a winter coat. That's it.
Ha! That's what you said last year.
Okay, okay. Maybe some socks too.
Oh, look at this coat! I love it!
It's nice! How much is it?
The tag says $180. That's expensive.
Hi there! All our coats are 15% off today!
Sorry, did you say 50% off?
Yes, that's right! Enjoy your shopping!
50% off! So it's only $90!
Hmm... I think she said 15, not 50.
No, I heard 50. I'm sure.
Really? Then look at that sign. It says 15%.
Oh no. 15%? Not 50?
Okay, let's do the math. 15% of $180 is $27.
So the coat is $153, not $90.
$153... Oh. That's a lot more.
I'm so sorry! It's so noisy, I misheard you.
Well... should I still buy it?
It's warm, and you really need a coat.
You're right. Let's take it to the checkout!
Good news! There's an extra 10% off at checkout!
Really? Another 10% off the $153?
So 10% of $153 is $15.30, right?
$153 minus $15.30 is $137.70!
That's right. Your total is $137.70.
Hmm, let me check the receipt first.
15% off, then 10% off... $137.70. Perfect!
See? Not $90, but still a good deal!
Thanks for doing all my math today!
Anytime! Now you can buy me a hot chocolate!
