B.
$185.00

C.
$200.00

D.
$168.00​

Answer 1

Total cost of jersey = $210

Option A is correct option

Explanation:

Original price of jersey = $250

Sale price is 20% of Original price i.e 20% off $250

Now finding 20% off 250

`20\% \ of \ 250\\=(20)/(100)* 250\\=50`

So there will be discount of $50

The Price of jersey after 20% discount is: 250-50 = 200

Sale Price of jersey = $200

Now we add 5% GST

5% off 200

`5\% \ of \ 200\\=(5)/(100)* 200\\=10`

So, GST amount is $10

Total cost of jersey = Sale Price + GST

Total cost of jersey = $200+$210

Total cost of jersey = $210

Option A is correct option
