Question

How much change does he need to receive back

Answer 1

Answer:

Damien will receive a change of $\ 4.69$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pair of jeans = $33

Sales tax = 7%

Money paid as Sales tax = 7% of sale done on pair of jeans  = $\frac{7}{100}\times \ 33 = \ 2.31$

Total amount paid = 40

We need to find the amount he will receive back

Amount receive back can be calculated by Total amount paid minus Amount for pair of jeans minus money paid as Sales Tax

Change amount received = Total amount paid - Amount for pair of jeans - money paid as Sales Tax = $\ 40 - \ 33-\ 2.31 = \ 4.69$

Hence Damien will receive a change of $\ 4.69$
