A popular jacket at the downtown department store has a retail price of $112. For this week only, it is being discounted for 10%. How much is the jacket after the discount and the 9.5% sales tax that will still need to be added at the time of purchase? Be sure to round your answer to the nearest whole cent.

Answer $110.38

Explanation:

1. 10% of $112 = 11.20 discount

2. $112 - 11.20 = 100.80

3. $100.80 x 0.095 = 9.58 sales tax

4. $100.80 + 9.58 = 110.38

(sales price after discount and sales tax )
