Answer:
The final cost of the chair is $207.65 before sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, turn 30% into a decimal.
30% --> make the % into a decimal and move it 2 times to the left
This gives you 30% ---> 0.30
Now, multiply.
349×0.30= 104.7
So, 104.7 is 30% of the total price and since it's on clearance, subtract 104.7 from 349.
349-104.7= 244.30
Now, we have to find the price of the 15% coupon.
The coupon says it takes away 15% of, not the original price, but of the price after the clearance is taken away.
So, turn 15% into a decimal.
15% ----> 0.15
Now, multiply 0.15 with 244.30.
244.30×0.15= 36.645
That estimates to 36.65.
Finally, subtract 36.65 from 244.30.
244.30-36.65= 207.65
This gives us the final product of $207.65.
