Question

Kristin wants to buy a pair of jeans that cost $35 and are on sale

20% off. She is also buying two T-shirts at a full price of $9.99 each.
She must pay 6.5% sales tax. How much will she pay for the clothes

Answer 1

$51.10

Explanation:

First, find 20% of $35, then add the sale price of the jeans and the two t-shirts. Take the total and find the sales tax and add that onto the cost.

100 - 20 = 80 If you multiply the jeans by 80% it gives you the price for the jeans saving you from having to subtract the discount from the original price.

35 * 0.80 = $28.00 jeans 28.00 47.98

9.99 + 3.12

+ 9.99 $51.10

47.98

X 0.065

$3.12
