Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65
Explanation:
The initial price of the jacket is $75.
Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is
30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5
The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is
75 - 22.5 = $52.5
He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is
6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15
Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is
52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65
