Question

PLEASE HELP AND TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT I HAVE TO SHOW work !! Jeans are on sale for 40% off the jeans Justin wants to buy them marked with an original price of 80 what is the total cost in dollars for a pair of jeans at the sale price including a 7% tax

Answer 1

Okay, if the jeans were originally $80, take 40% off of that (40% of 80 is 32) so you’d get 48. Now take 48 and multiply by 1.07 (to get 107% of the $48, to find a percentage you can move the decimal place left 2 digits and multiply), so Justin would pay $51.36 in total.
