Question

A jacket's original price is $65.00. It is on sale for 40% off. You have to pay 5% sales tax. What is the final price for the jacket?

Explain good pls

Answer 1

Discount:-

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 0.40(65)=26\$`

Now

• Price after discount=65-26=39$

So

Sales tax is 5%

Total price=39+0.05(39)=40.95$

Answer 2

$40.95

Explanation:

Original price = $65.00

If the jacket is on sale for 40% off, then it is now 60% of the original price.

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

⇒ 60% of $65.00 = 0.6 × 65

= $39

If we have to pay 5% sales tax, then this means that the final price will be 105% of the sale price.

105% = 105/100 = 1.05

⇒ 105% of $39 = 1.05 × 39

= $40.95
