$36.

Explanation:

It depends.

Based on the question, what I think is happening is that the coupon is being used for 10% off the marked down price, and not the initial price, so, working from there...
#$50*(1-0.2) = $50*0.8 = $40#
Now, we have to take an additional 10% off because of the coupon.
#$40*(1-0.1) = $40*0.9 = $36#.
And there you have it!

P.S. If the coupon was for the initial price, we can add both markdown and the coupon together to have a total discount of #30%#. We can then do the math from there...
#$50*(1-0.3)=$50*0.7=$35#. It's only #$1# difference, so it would not really matter...
