Question

Mr. Alter found a t-shirt at Kohl’s for a ticketed price of $24. He had a coupon for 20% off. The sales tax rate was 8%. How much did the t-shirt cost? Please round your answer to the nearest cent. p

Answer 1

Yea the first person is right I did the math and it would cost 17.66

Answer 2

the final cost of the shirt would be $17.66.

to find the answer you multiple $24 by 20% and you get 4.8. once you’ve done that you subtract 4.8 from 24 which gives you 19.2. Then do the same thing but with 8% so multiple 19.2 by 8% and you get 1.536. Finally subtract 1.536 from 19.2 and you end up with 17.664 round it and you get $17.66.
