Question

While Anne was visiting her sister in Hillsdale, she bought a coat that was marked down 60% from an original price of $100. If the sales tax in Hillsdale is 5%, what was the total cost of the coat?

Answer 1

Answer: $38

Explanation:

Given data:

Discount = 60% of original price

Price of the Coat = $100

Sales tax = 5%

Solution:

Price of the the cost after a discount of 60%

= $100 * 0.6

= $60

Sales tax 5%

= $40 * 0.05

= $2

Total cost of coat

= $100 - $60 - $2

= $38

Total cost of the coat is $38
