Answer 1

The cost of the feathered ringed coat is $ 405.14.

Explanation:

Given that Nalaya bought a feathered ringed coat for $ 243.53 at her local coat store, and she had bought the coat at 45% off, with an additional 8.5% tax charge, to determine how much is the cost now the following calculation must be performed:

243.53 x 0.915 = 222.82

55 = 222.82

100 = X

100 x 222.82 / 55 = X

22,282.99 / 55 = X

405.14 = X

Thus, the cost of the feathered ringed coat is $ 405.14.
