Question

Patrice is buying clothes that cost $203. The store is offering an 18% off sale. Patrice must also pay 8.85% sales tax. Write an expression that represents a good way to estimate the final price of the clothes.

Answer 1

Answer:

$183.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Give data,

cost of clothe = $203

discount=18%=0.18

tax= 8.85%=0.085

let the final price be y

y= cost of clothe+tax-discount

1.the discount in dollar is

0.18*203=$36.54

2. the tax in dollar is

0.085*203=$17.255

therefore the price of the clothe is

y=203+17.255-36.54

y=$183.72
