Question

A sweatshirt of $40,00 is on sale for 20% off the regular price. A sales tax is

applied to the discounted price. What is the final selling price of the sweatshirt?​

Answer 1

$37.20

Explanation:

Sales tax is 7.25% = 40/1.075 on the final price.= $2.80

The final price $42.80

If the sweatshirt hasn't been discounted then it becomes $32 = $8 off normal price + 7.25% sales tax= 32/1.075. 29.767

The final price $34.20 = $2.20 sales tax charge.
