Answer 1

Cost of shoes = $37.4925

Cost of jacket = $92.4533

Tax = $9.81

Total paid = $144.2458

Explanation:

Normal price of shoes = $49.99

Discount = 25%

Discounted price:

`\$49.99 - \$49.99* (25)/(100) = \$37.4925`

Normal price of jacket = $137.99

Discount = 33%

Discounted price:

`\$137.99 - \$137.99* (33)/(100) = \$92.4533`

Price of pack of cookies = $4.49

No discount on cookies as per question statement.

Total amount without tax = $37.4925 + $92.4533 + $4.49 = $134.4358

Sales Tax = 7.3% of total amount without tax = 7.3%
`*` $134.4358 = $9.81

Total paid = $134.4358 + $9.81 = $144.2458
