Question

Hoodies were on sale for 20% off of the original price. Hyde bought a hoodie on sale that had an original price of $74.00. The sales tax was then 6.25%. How much did Hyde pay for the sweater?

Answer 1

74 x .2 = 14.80 thats the discount
74 - 14.80 = 59.20
59.20 x .0625 =3.7 (thats the tax, add it)
59.20 + 3.7 = 62.90 the final price

Answer 2

20% off means u r paying 80%

0.80(74) = 59.20 (without tax)

sales tax is 6.25%...
59.20 + 0.0625(59.20) = 59.20 + 3.70 = $ 62.90 <==with tax included
