Question

Please help I’m stuck on this question, I’ll give brainliest

A clothing store is having an anniversary sale. Every piece of clothing in the
store is 15% off. If Lara bought a belt that was originally priced $23 and a
sweater that was originally $32, what is the final price after 6% sales tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

49.55

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so, what we do is
Get 15% of 23
Get 15% of 32

15% of 23 is 3.45

15% of 32 is 4.80

Now we do

23 - 3.45

32 - 4.80

23 - 3.45 is 19.55

32 - 4.80 is 27.2

This is the part im not 100% on

27.20 + 19.55 is 46.75

6% of 46.75 is 2.80

46.75 + 2.80 is 49.55

Now i dont know if its that way or if you apply the 6% sale tax to each individual item
