A jacket's original price is $65.00. It is on sale for 40% off. You have to pay 5% sales tax. What is the final price for the jacket?

Answer 1

40.95

Explanation:

If the jacket is 40% off, you still have to pay 100% -40% or 60%

The new price is the original price times 60%

new price = 65*60%

=39

We need to find the sales tax

tax= price * tax rate

= 39 * 5%

= 39 *.05

=1.95

Final cost is the new price plus the tax

Final cost = 39+1.95

=40.95

Answer 2

40% off means you are paying 60% of the original price ( 100% - 40% = 60%

Multiply the price of the coat by 60%:

65.00 x 0.60 = 39.00 ( sale price)

Now multiply the sale price by 1.05 ( price of coat plus tax rate) to get the final cost:

39.00 x 1.05 = 40.95

The final price is $40.95
