Question

A $20 hat was on sale with a discount of 40%.

What was the total amount Jim had to pay that includes 8% sales tax?

Answer 1

Answer:$13.60

Explanation:

Multiply 20 times 0.4 to get 40% of 20 dollars. Then subtract 8 from 20 leaving you with 12. Multiply 20 by 0.08 to get 8% of 20 dollars. Which will give you 1.6. Add 12+1.6 and you will get 13.60 dollars.
