Question

A necklace at Jared is originally $99. It is on sale for 10% off. If there is a 3% tax on the DISCOUNTED PRICE, what is the total price of the necklace? Round to the nearest cent!

Answer 1

Answer: the total price of the necklace is $91.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The original Price of the necklace at Jared is is $99. It is on sale for 10% off. This means that there is a discount on the original price. The discount is 10/100 × 99 = $9.9

The new price of the necklace at Jared is the original price - the discount. It becomes

99 - 9.9 = $89.1

If there is a 3% tax on the discounted price, the amount of tax would be 3/100×89.1 = $2.673

The total cost of the necklace will be new cost + the amount of tax. It becomes

89.1 + 2.673 = $91.8
