Question

gabriella bought two hoodies that were $15 each. The store was having a sale, everything in the store 15% off. If the sales tax on the purchase was 8%, what was the final cost of the hoodie?

Answer 1

Given:

The cost of each hoodie is, C = $15.

The discount percentage is, d = 15%.

The tax percentage on purchase is t = 8%.

The objective is to find the final cost of the hoodie.

The selling price of one hooie can be calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} SP=c-d \\ =15-((15)/(100)*15) \\ =15-2.25 \\ =12.75 \end{gathered}`

Now, by adding sales tax to the selling price the final cost will be,

`\begin{gathered} FC=SP+t \\ =12.75+((8)/(100)*12.75) \\ =12.75+1.02 \\ =13.77 \end{gathered}`

Cost of two hoodie can be calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} C(\text{two)}=2*13.77 \\ =27.54 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the final cost of one hoodie is $13.77 and final cost of two hoodie is $27.54.
