Question

Lee wants to buy four tee shirts,
which were originally priced $12.94
each. He purchases four shirts at the
"Buy One Get One 50%" sale and pays
6.2% tax on the total cost of the
shirts. Including the tax, what will be
the cost of each shirt?

Answer 1

Answer:

$27.48

Step-by-step explanation:

He buys 1 shirt at 12.94 and gets one at 6.47

He does this 2 times and the total is 25.88

That times 1.062 to factor in the 6.2 percent tax rate is 27.48

Answer 2

So first you do:

.5 x 12.94=6.47

Next:

6.47 x 2=12.94

Then:

12.94 x 3=38.82

Now you have to do the tax:

38.82 x .062=2.41

After you get the answer for tax you have to add that to the price with out tax:

So, 38.82+2.41

=41.23

So you answer is 41.23 including the discount and tax
