Answer:

 $4.37 cash outlay

 $29.37 total amount paid, partly with gift card

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount was ...

  0.15 × $32.30 = $4.845 ≈ $4.85

So the price to which tax is added is ...

  $32.30 -4.85 = $27.45

The amount of tax is 7% of this value, or ...

  tax = $27.45 × 0.07 = $1.9215 ≈ $1.92

So, payment is made on the amount ...

  $27.45 + 1.92 = $29.37

$29.37 is the total amount paid.

If $25 is paid using a gift card, then the cash outlay is $4.37.

_____

Usually only a single coupon can be applied to a given purchase. Since the 15% store discount exceeds the amount of the 5% coupon left at home, it makes more sense to claim the 15% store discount and save the 5% coupon for another time.

__

<em>Alternate interpretation</em>

If, by some magic, both discounts could be applied, then the amount to be paid is $27.65, of which $2.65 exceeds the gift card amount. The calculation proceeds the same way, except that 20% is used instead of 15%.

The price of an item has increased 15% since last year. However, a person can buy the item for a 25% employee discount. The empl
ANEK [815]

Answer: $200

Explanation:

The employee pays $172.50 and he got 25% employee discount.

If the cost is $100, he pays $(100 - 25) = $75.

So, employee pays =  

100

75

⋅

172.50

= $230.00.

Again, price was increased by 15% last year. So whose cost is $100

is sold by $(100+15) = $115.

When sell price is $115, then cost price is $100. Then,

when sell price is $230, then cost price is  

100

115

⋅

230

= $200.
