Question

Please help me Arithmetic Reasoning

Dave has a 30% off coupon for a pair of jeans priced at $78.95. He will also have to pay 6% sales tax and a 1% local option tax at the register. How much will he have to pay for the jeans?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Price of Jeans = $78.35

30% coupon = 30% × $78.35 = $23.51

6% sales tax = 6% × $78.35 = $4.70

1% local option tax = 1% × $78.35 = $0.78

Total cost of jeans = $78.35 - $23.51 + $4.70 + $0.78 = $60.32
