Question

d) What would be the total cost of purchasing the number of shirts needed to use your coupon—after your coupon is applied and a 7.5% sales tax is charged on the purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: Multiply 7.5% by the price after subtracting the coupon's value.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the cost of the shirts is x. So the coupon would subtract y from x so that's x-y which gives us z. Then to find z, on a calculator just put in 7.5% x z. I used variables since I don't know the value of the coupon or the original price of the shirts.
