Answer 1

Answer:

$33.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The sweater costs $48. It is on sale for 35% off. The sales tax is 8%. We want to know the final price.

We know that 35% is the same as 0.35. We are going to multiply $48 by 0.35. This results in $16.80. The 35% is 35% off, so we are going to subtract $16.80 from the $48. This gives us $31.20. Now, we still have the 8% sales tax. 8% is the same as 0.08. We will multiply this by $31.20. This gives us $2.496, which we can round to $2.50. That is how much the sales tax is. It will be added to the price of the sweater. The result is $33.70.
