Question

if a scarf is 25 percent off and normally cost 20 dollars how much will it cost after 6.5 percent sales tax is paid?​

Answer 1

Answer: 15.98

Step-by-step explanation: 25% off 20 is 15. 6.5% times 15 is .98 so the answer is 15.98

Answer 2

$15.98

Explanation:

25% off means it is 75% of its normal cost

0.75 x 20 = 15

The scarf is $15 after 25% discount. Then we calculate its final cost after tax:

6.5% = 0.065

1.065 x 15 = 15.975 which rounds to $15.98
