Question

An online retailer is offering a 30% savings on your total order. You decide to purchase a pair of pants for $82, two shirts for $53 each, and a pair of shoes for $120. A sales tax of 8.25% will be added to your order. What is the final price including all discounts and taxes for the clothing? Round your answer to the nearest cent

Answer 1

$233.39

Explanation:

Pants = $82, 2 Shirts = $53 * 2, Shoes = $120

Add all these values up to find the total cost of your order excluding tax.

82 + 53(2) + 120 = 308

Next find the price w/ tax. Multiply 308 by 8.25%, or 0.0825.

308 * 0.0825 = 25.41

Now you add the tax to the total value.

308 + 25.41 = 333.41

The total value including tax is $333.41. The online retailer is offering a 30% savings (discount), so multiply the total price including tax by 30% (0.30).

333.41 * 0.30 = 100.023

Now you subtract the discount from the total price.

333.41 - 100.023 = 233.38700

The question say the answer rounded to the nearest cent or hundredths, so your final answer is 233.39.

The final price of the clothing including all discounts and taxes is $233.39.
