A clothing store is running an offer on men's shirts. When two shirts are bought at regular price, the third shirt is 50% off. Jeremy decided to buy three shirts for his brother using the offer. The regular price for a shirt is $36.00. Based on a tax rate of 7.50% that is applied after the discount, Jeremy paid a total of $ 100 for three shirts, including tax.

Answer: $96.75

Explanation:

Regular price is $36 and the third shirt will come at a 50% discount.

Total price for the 3 shirts is;

= 36 + 36 + (36 * 50%)

= $90

The total after-tax is;

= 90 * ( 1 + tax rate)

= 90 * ( 1 + 7.50%)

= $96.75

I am unsure what the question is but the total amount that Jeremy should pay is $96.75.
