Kelly paid $45.36 for a sweater that was on sale for 25% off the original price. She paid 8% sales tax on the sale price.

What was the original price of the sweater, in dollars​

Answer 1

The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price. To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price.
