Question

Jeremy bought a new pair of jeans. The jeans

regularly cost $30, but they are on sale for
10% off. There is a 6% sales tax on his
purchase. How much will Jeremy pay
altogether for the jeans ?

Answer 1

Jeremy will pay a total of $28.62 for the jeans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the jeans, we need to first calculate the discount amount. 10% of $30 is $3. So, Jeremy will get a discount of $3 on the jeans.

Next, we need to calculate the sales tax on the discounted price. 6% of $27 (the discounted price) is $1.62.

Finally, we can find the total cost by adding the discounted price and the sales tax: $27 + $1.62 = $28.62.

Jeremy's final cost for the jeans, after applying the 10% discount and including the 6% sales tax, will be $28.62. This calculation ensures that both the discount and the sales tax are accounted for in determining the total amount he will pay.

Answer 2

28.80

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of $45 = 0.10 × 45 = $4.50

$45-$4.50=$40.50

90% of $45 = 0.90 × 45 = $40.50
