Question

Shang has a coupon for 15% off he decided to buy a shirt for 16.95 the sales tax rate is 6% what is his final cost

Answer 1

After the coupon and sales tax were applied, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.

Explanation:

We are given that a shirt is $16.95. This is reduced by 15% due to the coupon.

`100\% - 15\% = 85\%`

Therefore, 85% of the shirt price is still active.

`\displaystyle (85)/(100)=0.85`

We can multiply this value by the shirt price to find the current price.

`16.95 * 0.85 = 14.4075 \approx \$14.41`

However, the shirt also has a sales tax of 6% applied after the coupon.

`\displaystyle (6)/(100) = 0.06`a

Now, we need to find the total price for the shirt.

`\displaystyle 14.41 * 1.06 = 15.2746 \approx \$15.27`

Therefore, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.
