Question

When Landon bought his jacket, it was on sale for 10% off. After paying a tax of $2.16 on this sale price, the total cost of the jacket was $38.16

Answer 1

Before the 10% discount and taxes, the price of the jacket was $40.00.

The percentage Landon paid in tax can be found using the equation LaTeX: \frac{x}{100}=\frac{2.16}{36}x 100 = 2.16 36x 100 = 2.16 36.

Explanation:

Answer 2

I'm assuming the question is what was the original price.

The answer is $40.

Explanation:

If the tax is 2.16, the price without tax is $36.

$36 is 90% which means that 4 is 10%.

4+36=$40
