Question

A clearance rack is marked as 35% off the regular price. A shirt on the clearance rack has a regular price of $45.99. If there is 7.25% sales tax, what will the shirt ring up for at the register?
a.
$17.26
b.
$21.67
c.
$29.89
d.
$32.06

Answer 1

It would ring up for $32.06. To find that answer, first you would have to calculate the discount. To do so you can multiply 45.99 times .65 (100%-35%=65% which in decimal form equals .65). That gives you an answer of $29.89 BEFORE sales tax. To add the sales tax, find the decimal of the percent tax (7.25% = .0725) and add it to one (1.075) and multiply that by the clearance price (29.89X1.075). That gives you a final answer of $32.06. Hope this helps!
