Question

John buys an item that costs $50.00 is marked 20% off. Sales tax for the item is 8%. What is the final price that John pays, including tax?

Answer 1

$43.20

Explanation:

20% of $50.00 is $10.00. $50 - $10 is $40. 8% of $40 is $3.20. Since this is tax, you must add it. $40+$3.20 = $43.20
