Question

Dave bought jeans at a store. • The jeans had an original price of $45.50 • The jeans were discounted 30% from the original price. • An 8% sales tax was added to the discounted price. What amount did Dave pay for the jeans?

Answer 1

Answer:$35.49

Explanation:

1. Get sales tax from the original price

8/100*45.50=$3.64

2. Get the price after the discount which is 70% of the original price

45.50*70/100 = 31.85

3. Add the sales tax to the new price to get the amount paid

31.85+3.64= $35.49
