Question

Misty is buying a pair of jeans for $54 and a pair of boots for $95. She has a coupon for 15% off is she spends at least $75. If the sales tax is 8% how much will she pay in total?

Answer 1

Add 54 and 95 to get 149. After that multiply 149 by .85 for the discount to get 126.65. Multiply this by .08 to get the amount of tax which is 10.13 and add this to the 126.65.

The answer is 136.78

Answer 2

Answer:

$136.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: add 54 + 95= 149

Step 2: Multiply 149 and 15% (You can convert to a decimal) = 22.35

Step 3: Minus 149- 22.35= 126.65

Step 4: Multiply 126.65 by 8% (or 0.08)= 10.1320

Step 5: Round 10.1320 to the nearest cent= 10.13

Step 6: Add 126.65 to 10.13= 136.78

Misty spent $136.78 total.
