Question

Anthony needs a new suit. He has a 20% off coupon that will be applied before a tax of 7.5% is applied to his total. How much will he end up paying for a 275 suit?

Answer 1

Anthony will end up paying 236.5 for a 275 suit.

A percentage is a fraction of the total value expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that value.

Here, it is given that the cost of the suit is 275.

Since he has a coupon of 20%, the cost of the suit will reduce by-

20 % of 275

= 0.20 * 275

= 55

Thus, the cost becomes 275 - 55 = 220.

Now, on this price, he has to pay a tax of 7.5%.

7.5 % of 220

= 0.075 * 220

= 16.5

Thus, the price of the suit increases to 220 + 16.5 = 236.5.

Hence, Anthony ends up paying 236.5.
