Question

A jacket has an original price of $50. You have a 20% off coupon. The sales tax will be 4%. What will you pay for the jacket after the discount and sales tax?

Answer 1

$41.6

Explanation:

The formula to find discount is (discount% x Original price) - original price.

In this case, that would be .20 times 50, which is 10.

Now you need to subtract 10 from 50, which is 40.

40 is the discounted price of the jacket before tax.

To find the tax price, you need to multiply the store price times the % tax, and add it to total cost.

In this case it would be 40 x .04, which is 1.6.

Now you add 1.6 to 40 which is $41.6.

Therefore, you will pay $41.6 for the jacket.

IM SO SORRY IF THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE!

Answer 2

The discount on the jacket is 20% of the original price of $50, which is:

20% * $50 = $10

So the discounted price of the jacket is:

$50 - $10 = $40

Next, we need to calculate the sales tax on the discounted price. The sales tax is 4% of the discounted price of $40, which is:

4% * $40 = $1.60

Finally, we add the sales tax to the discounted price to get the total price:

$40 + $1.60 = $41.60

Therefore, you will pay $41.60 for the jacket after the discount and sales tax.
