Answer 2

In this question, we're calculating for the final price of the sweater.

We know that the original price of the sweater is $30

The price is reduced by 30%

Calculate the reduced price:

30 × 0.30 = 9

30 - 9 = 21

Now, calculate sales tax:

21 * 0.05 = 1.05

21 + 1.05 = 22.05

The total cost of the sweater is $22.05

Answer:

$22.05
