Question

Jada bought $53 worth of snacks. She used a 10% off coupon. She then paid 8% tax on the original amount. What is the total she paid after the discount and tax?

Answer 1

The amount which Jada paid after discount and tax is $ 51.64

Explanation:

Given as :

The original price of snacks = $ 53

The price of snacks after applying 10% off coupon = 53 - 10% of 53

Or , The price of snacks after applying 10% off coupon = 53 (
`(100-10)/(100)` )

or, The price of snacks after applying 10% off coupon = 53 × 0.9 = $ 47.7

Now the tax applied on the original amount = 8 % of $ 53

or, the tax applied on the original amount =
`(8)/(100)` × 53

or, , the tax applied on the original amount =
`(424)/(100)` =$ 4.24

So The total paid amount = $ 47.4 + $ 4.24 = $ 51.64

Hence The amount which Jada paid after discount and tax is $ 51.64 Answer
