Respuesta :
$275*.15(15%)=41.25 (this is the amount of the discount)
$275-$41.25=$233.75 (cost of jacket after discount)
$233.75* .0725=$16.946(round to $16.95, this is the amount of the sales tax).
If you want to know the total cost after tax just add $16.95 to the discounted price of $233.75. The price you pay for the jacket is $250.70.
Answer:
$16.95
Step-by-step explanation:
A department store is having a 15% off sale on all winter coats.
The cost of the winter coat that you purchased = $275
The price after discount of 15% = 275 -(15% × 275)
= 275 - (0.15 × 275)
= 275 - 41.25
= $233.75
Sales tax rate on that location = 7.25%
Sales tax which you would pay = 7.25% × 233.75
= 0.0725 × 233.75
= $16.9468 ≈ $16.95
You have to pay $16.95 sales tax.
