Question

A jacket usually sells for $57.00. If the jacket is 40% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the jacket, including tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $35.91

Explanation:

Since the jacket is 40% off, we multiply the original price by 60% to get the price remaining. ($57 x 0.6 = $34.20)

Then, we multiply the new price by 105% (includes the 5% sales tax) to get the total price. ($34.20 x 1.05 = $35.91)
