Answer 1

$30.41

Explanation:

Given that:

Discount off = 15%

Original price = $45

Mark down on item = 25%

Sales tax on final price = 6%

Cost of Jean will be ;

Mark down price :

Original price - (Original price * markdown %)

$45 - ($45 * 0.25) = $33.75

Discounted price :

Markdown price - (markdown price * discount %(

$33.75 - (33.75 * 0.15)

= $28.6875

Final price :

Discounted price + (sales tax * discounted price)

28.6875 + (0.06 * 28.6875)

= $30.40875

= $30.41
