Grammy is buying a pair of Jeans that regularly cost $40. They are on sale for 20% off.

If the tax rate is 8%, what is the sale price of the Jeans Including tax?

Answer:

$34.56

Explanation:

First, find the discount price.

20% of 40

20/100 x 40= $8

Deduct the discount from the original price.

40 - 8 = $32

This is the discount price.

Now, find 8% (tax) of the price.

8/100 x 32 = $2.56

Add it to the price.

32 + 2.56 = $34.56

Hope this helps!
