answer: $298.80

there’s 2 ways to do this:
1. First Discount:
40% of 830 = .40 * 830= 332
830 - 332 = 498
Second Discount:
40% of 498 = .40 * 498 = 199.20
498 - 199.20 = 298.80

2. First Discount
100-40 = 60% (you’re paying 60% of the price)
60% * 830 = .60 * 830 = 498
Second Discount
60% * 498 = .60 * 498 = 298.80
^you’re paying 60% of discounted price
