Question

Orpheus needs a new cat lounge. The pet store has one in stock that Orpheus likes for $33. The local sales tax rate is 4.25% where Orpheus lives. The store is running a clearance event on cat furniture with discounts of forty percent off.

Answer 1

$20.64

Explanation:

When you take 40% of 33, you are left with 19.8. You then translate the sales tax into 84 cents and add it to 19.8. That will give you $20.64 as the after tax price.
