Question

You buy a pair of jeans for 25% markdown from $32.00. The sales tax is 6%. How much will you pay for the jeans?

Answer 1

Answer: 25.44 would how much you would have to pay for the jeans :)

Answer 2

$25.44

Explanation:

To find the markdown, multiply the initial cost of the jeans by the percentage of the initial price the new amount will be. If the jeans are getting a 25% markdown, then the new cost will be 75% of the initial cost. Convert 75% and then multiply it by 32:

32 * 0.75 = 24

Now that we know the price of the jeans, we can calculate the sales tax. Multiply 24 by 0.06 to find the sales tax:

24 * 0.06 = 1.44

Now add the sales tax to the new cost to get your final answer:

1.44 + 24 = 25.44

You will pay $25.44 for the jeans.

Hope this helps :)
