Question

a coat was marked down by 60 percent from its original price of $99 . including an 8% sale tax , what is the final cost of the coat?

Answer 1

i think its 42.77... might be wrong tho

Explanation:

being marked down by 60 percent means to multiply original number by 0.4

so we get 39.6

the multiply it by 1.08 to get 42.768

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

To find the marked down price, multiply the total by the percentage.

`99*.6=59.4`

Next, subtract the amount from the total.

`99-59.4=39.6`

Then, multiply to find the sales tax.

`39.6*0.08=3.168`

`39.6+3.168=42.768`

Answer: $42.77
