Bummer! Kai has to pay sales tax! The sales tax rate is 5.75%. How much is the backpack?

(Original price: $88.95, 40% off )

So let’s start with the original price, 40% off would leave you with 53.37 so 5.75% of 53.37 would be 30.68 add those together to get $84.05 or $84 and 5 cents but if the sales tax is counting without the 40% off then it would be $140.09
