Question

Madison bought a coat that regularly sells for $125. She waited until it

went on sale for 30% off the regular price. The tax rate is 9%. What
was the total amount she paid for the coat?
Hint: find the sale price and THEN the tax.

Answer 1

$95.37

Explanation:

$125.00 COAT REGULAR PRICE X 30%= $37.50. $125.00 - $37.50 = $87.50

$87.50 X 9% SALES TAX = $7.87

$87.50 + $7.87 =$95.37 total price
