Question

A jacket is $65.00. It’s on sale for 40%. You have to pay 5% sales tax. What is the final price for the jacket?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A jacket is $65.00. If it’s on sale for 40%, then you paid 60% of the price. Find 60% of $65.00:

$\ 65\cdot 0.6=\ 39$

Now, you have to pay 5% sales tax. 5% of $39 is

$\ 39\cdot 0.05=\ 1.95$

Hence, the total cost of the jacket is

$\ 39+\ 1.95=\ 40.95$
