Question

Ethen bought a jacket that was on sale for 25% off.The jacket was originally priced at $69.99 . About how much change would he get from $100.00 bill if he also pays 6% tax

Answer 1

$44.36

Explanation:

You paid 75% of the originally price of $69.99. That is $69.99(.75) = $52.49.

You paid $52.49 for the jacket. Now the a tax of 6% is added to the price. Therefore you paid the cost of the jacket + 6% of the Jacket cost

$52.49 + .06(52.49) = $52.49 + $3.15 = $55.64

Paid with a $100. the change will be $100 - $55.64 = $44.36
