Question

Zane bought a pair of jeans that originally cost $56. He used a coupon for 25% off and paid 8% in sales tax. How much did he pay for his jeans?

Answer 1

$38.64

Explanation:

so the equation needed to solve is $56*0.25 and that number is 14. Since it is a coupon you subtract 14 from 56 and end up with 42. Now multiply 0.08*42 and you got your sales tax, $3.36. now subtract that from 42 and you have your answer! Don't forget the dollar sign!

hope this helped! : )
