The original price of a suit is $200. The price increased 30%, and after this increase, the store published a 30% off coupon for a one-day sale. Given that the consumers who used the coupon on sale day were getting 30% off the increased price, how much did these consumers pay for the suit?  Pick:
A) $ 182
B) $ 191
C) $ 200
D) $ 209
E) $ 219

Rationale: "given the foregoing discussion , it may be obvious now the trap - mistake answer is ( c ) . even if you can ’ t remember the correct thing to do , at the very least , learn to spot the trap ! the multiplier for a 30 % increases is 1 + 0.30 = 1.3 , and the multiplier for a 30 % decrease is 1 – 0.30 = 0.70 , so the combined change is 1.3 * 0.7 = 0.91 , 91 % percent of the original , or a 9 % decreases . now , multiply $ 200 * 0.91 = $ 182 . answer = ( a ) ."
Answer: A
