Question

Indigo Depot is having a clearance sale of their fall items. All clearance items are marked an additional 30% off the sale price. A jacket that originally costs $140 before any discount is on sale for 15% off. What would your total cost be if the sales tax is 6.5%? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

The total cost of the jacket will be $ 90.

It is a question of percentages.

Given that:-

Marked Price of jacket = $ 140

Discount % on Jacket = 15 %

Additional discount on jacket = 30 %

Sales tax = 6.5 %

We have to find the total cost of the jacket after all the discounts and taxes.

(15/100) * 140 = 21

Price of jacket after discount = 140 - 21 = $ 119

(30/100)*119 = 35.7

Price of jacket after additional discount = 119 - 35.7 = $ 83.3

(6.5/100)*83.3 = 5.4145

Price of jacket after sales tax = 83.3 + 5.4145 = $ 89.7145 ≈ $ 90
