Answer:

The final cost that I will pay for the pants is $ 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I walk into a store that is closing, and the pants normally cost $ 60.00 but it is discounted 75%, and they are also taking an additional 20% off, to determine what is the final price that I will pay for the pants se must perform the following mathematical calculation:

 

100 - 20 = 80

(60 - (60 x 0.75)) x 0.80 = X

(60 - 45) x 0.80 = X

15 x 0.80 = X

12 = X

So, the final cost that I will pay for the pants is $ 12.
