Answer:  332

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The percent of sales off this year in July= 20%

Which can be written as 0.20

The sales of coat in last year in July= 415

Let x be the number of coats they sell in this year in July , then the decrease in sales :  [tex]-0.20(415)[/tex]

We have the following equation:-

[tex]x=415-0.20(415)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=415-83=332[/tex]

Hence, the number of coats , they sell this year in July =332 .
