Question

A jacket original price is $65 it is on sale for 40% off you have to pay 5% sales tax what is the final price for the jacket

Answer 1

27.30 because 40% of $65 is $26 plus the 5% sales tax which is $1.30 so we have $26+$1.30

Answer 2

The answer is 40.95. 40% of 65 is 26, so you do 65 - 26 = 39. 5% off of 39 = 1.95, so add that to get 40.95.
