Answer:
$54.06
Explanation:
The discount is 40% of the regular price.
We first find 40% of $85, then we subtract it from $85.
40% of $85 =
= 40% * $85
= 0.4 * $85
= $34
The 40% discount on $85 amounts to a discount of $34. Now we subtract $34 from $85 to find the discounted price before tax.
$85 - $34 = $51
The discounted price before tax is $51.
Now we need to add a tax of 6% of $51 to the amount $51.
We calculate 6% of $51, and we add it to $51.
6% of $51 =
= 6% * $51
= 0.06 * $51
= $3.06
The 6% tax on $51 is $3.06.
The last step is to add the $3.06 tax to $51.
$51 + $3.06 = $54.06
Answer: $54.06
