Answer 1

Answer: Terry paid $18.36 for the sweater.

Explanation:

Given: Sales price of sweater = $24

Coupon states
`\frac14` off the sales, i.e. Terry will get
`\frac14*24=\$6` discount.

Also, tax rate = 6%

Tax will be charged = 6% of Sales price of sweater

= 0.06 x 6

= $0.36

Now , Final amount for Terry = Sales price - discount +tax

= $(24-6+0.36)= $18.36

Hence, Terry paid $18.36 for the sweater.
