Question

Harry went shopping and bought a jacket for $67.99. It was 20% off, what was the total cost of the jacket including 7% sales tax?

Answer 1

$58.20

Explanation:

calculate the amount of money needed to pay after discount first

$67.99 × 80% = $54.329

Then calculate the amount needed to pay after gst is added on the previous amount

$54.329 × 107%=$58.19944

rounded off is $58.20(round off to nearest cents)
