Answer:
New cost of the shirt=$39.028416
Explanation:
Target is having a Back to School sale where all polo shirts are discounted by 20%. Joshua wants to buy five shirts: two cost $10.98 each, one costs $11.50, and two others cost $15.99 each. Joshua remembered he had a coupon in his pocket that would take an additional 30% of the shirts. Which choice represents the new total cost of the shirts including the sales tax of 6.5%
Solution
Two shirts cost=$10.98 each
One shirt cost=$11.50
Two shirts cost=$15.99 each
Total cost of shirts=(2*$10.98 + $11.50 + 2*$15.99)
=$21.96 + $11.50 + $31.98
=$65.44
All polo shirts are discounted by 20%
It means he would pay 100%-20% of the total cost
100%-20%=80%
Discounted price=$65.44 * 80%
=$65.44 * 0.8
=$52.352
He has a coupon of 30% off the shirt
100% -30%=70%
=$52.352*70%
=$52.352 * 0.7
=$36.6464
Plus Sales tax of 6.5%
6.5% of $36.6464
=0.065* $36.6464
=$2.382016
New cost of the shirt=$36.6464 + $2.382016
=$39.028416
