Question

A jacket that is regularly sold for $49.95 is on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price of the jacket?

What will be the tax if the state has an 8% sales tax?


What is the final cost to you?

Answer 1

First, find 25% of 49.95. Turn 25% into a decimal by dividing by 100.

25% ⇒ 0.25

Now, multiply 0.25 by 49.95.

0.25 × 49.95 = 12.46

25% of 49.95 is 12.46, so subtract 12.46 from 49.95.

49.95 - 12.46 = 37.49

Answer:

The discounted price of the jacket is $37.49.

Now find 8% of 37.49.

8% ⇒ 0.08

Multiply 0.08 by 37.49.

0.08 × 37.49 = 2.99

Answer:

The tax is $2.99.

To find the full price, add 37.49 and 2.99 together.

37.49 + 2.99 = 40.48

Answer:

The final cost is $40.48.
