Question

Markus decides to return 4 shirts costing $19 each to a clothing store. While there, he decides to purchase 2 pairs of shoes at $45 each and a raincoat for $62.75. The clerk charges him 5% tax on the amount due after returns. What amount does he owe the clerk?

Answer 1

114.38 is the answer to your equation

Answer 2

$80.59

Explanation:

You add the price of the raincoat and shoes to get 152.75, you then subtract the price of the 4 shirts you returned to get 76.75. The 5% tax for this is 3.84 so you add the two together and you get $80.59.
