Camille Uses a 20 % Off Coupon When Buying a Sweater That Costs $ 47.99 .If, She Also pays 6 % Sales tax on the Purchase , How Many does She Paid For ???? ​

Answer 1

take 47.99 x .20 = 9.598

$9.60 off

then take 47.99 - 9.60 = $ 38.39

take 38.39 x .06 = 2.3034

$ 2.30 (tax)

add 38.39 + 2.30 = $40.69 or $40.70 is the final purchase price

(the two amounts depends on your choice answer or how it is rounded)

Explanation:

Answer 2

40.69. 47.99*.2=9.598. Round it to 9.6 and then subtract from 47.99. Equals 38.39. 38.39*1.06 equals 40.69.
