Question

The local department store is having their annual 25%-off sale.The regular prices for these purchases are: dress ($64.99), shoes ($46.00),coat ($149.98), and purse ($59.00). Find the total sale price for thesepurchases including a 5% sales tax for the final answer.

Answer 1

the total sales price with regular prices = $64.99 + $46.00+$149.98+$59.00 = $319.97

after 25% - off sale, we have

total sales price = 319.97 - 25% of 319.97 = 319.97 - (0.25 x 319.97) = $239.98

after 5% sales tax

total sales price = $239.98 + 5% of $239.98 = $239.98+12 =251.98

Hence

the total sales price is $251.98
