Question

You have a coupon for 30% off your total order.

You buy a shirt, shoes, and a hat. The shirt is
$15, the shoes are $65, and the hat is $14. The
tax rate is 6%, taken on the subtotal. How much
do you pay?

Answer 1

you pay $69.74

Explanation:

total cost without coupon: 15+65+14 = 94

apply the 30% discount ⇒ 94 × .30 = 28.20

subtract the savings ⇒ 94.00 - 28.20

total, after coupon, before tax ⇒ 65.80

apply 6% tax to 65.80 ⇒ 65.8 × .06 ⇒ 3.94

add tax to cost after coupon ⇒ 65.80 + 3.94

you pay $69.74
