Calculate the sale price after the first markdown

Using the Bar Diagram Models and Multi-step Percent Problems knowledge points
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Original Price} = \$56\\ &\text{Markdown} = 25\%\\ &\text{Sale Price} = 56 \times (1 - 0.25) = 56 \times 0.75 = \$42 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Calculate the final price after the coupon

Using the Multi-step Percent Problems knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Coupon Discount} = 20\%\\ &\text{Final Price} = 42 \times (1 - 0.20) = 42 \times 0.80 = \$33.60 \end{aligned}$$

\]
