Question

5 Loni purchased a sweater with a regular price of $45.00. The sweater was on

sale for 20% off, and the sales tax rate is 8.25%. How much did Loni pay for the
sweater?
A $2.97
B $9.00
C $36.00
D $38.97

Answer 1

D is correct

Explanation:

First we find 20% of the price and subtract it

`45*0.20=9\\45-9=36`

Next we find how much tax would be

`36*0.0825=2.97`

then we add the two amounts together to get the final price

`36+2.97=38.97`
