Question

Beth wants to buy a shirt that costs $40. She has a 20% discount. The sales tax is 8%.

How much money will she save with her discount?
How much will the tax be?
What is the final price of the shirt?

Answer 1

Correct answer:
$22.84

Step-by-step explanation:
The tax is calculated by 0.075 * 21.25 = 1.59375 or $1.59. So the total bill is the cost of items purchased plus tax, which is $21.25 + $1.59 = $22.84.

This doesn't make sense I know but I tried ok

Answer 2

$34.56

Step-by-step explanation:

She will save 8 dollars from the discount.

The tax will be $0.56.

The final price of the shirt will be $34.56
