Answer:
A $12.84
Step-by-step explanation:
Sweater was originally $48.00 before tax. $48.00 x 7% tax rate (.07) = $3.36 in tax
So the sweater originally would've cost $48.00 + $3.36 = $51.36
The sale price was 25% off the $48.00. $48.00 x 25% (.25) = $12.00
Then you subtract the $12.00 from the $48.00 to get the new price of $36.00
Now that's before tax, so $36.00 x 7% tax rate (.07) = $2.52 in tax
So the sweater would cost on sale $36.00 + $2.52 = $38.52
To figure out how much she would've saved you subtract the sale price & tax from the original price & tax $51.36 - $38.52 = $12.84
