Answer:

Amount to be paid = $51.18

Explanation:

Evander bought a juice that was discounted 25% if the original price of the juicer was $64.99 and he paid 5% sales tax

Original price of juicer is $64.99

discount is 25%. Amount discounted from original price is

64.99 * 25%= 64.99 * 0.25= 16.2475

Cost of juicer after discount is 64.99 - 16.2475= 48.7425= 48.74

Now sales tax is 5%

5% of 48.74 = 2.437

Now add the sales tax amount with cost of juicer after discount

Amount to be paid = 48.74+2.437= $51.18
