Question

Jamaal buys his clothes at Super Discounts. On Saturday, he bought shoes regularly priced at $40 for 25% off, and a jacket regularly priced at $100 for 30% off. Including a 6% sales tax, what total amount will Jamaal pay? 

Answer 1

He would pay $30 for the shoes, and $70 for the jacket.

So, in total 106.

Answer 2

100-25=75%

$40-100%
$ x -75%

100x=3000
x=$30

100-30=70%

$100-100%
$ y - 70%

100y=7000
y=$70

total: x+y=70+30=$100

+ sales tax
100% +6%=106%

$100-100%
$ z - 106%

10600=100z
z=$106

Answer: Jammal will pay $106.
