Answer: The total amount that he paid for the suit is $170
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the suit was $260.
Mr.Nguyen bought a suit that was on sale for 40% off the original price. This means that the amount of discount in the suit is
40/100 × 260 = 0.4 × 260 = $104
The sale price would be
260 - 104 = $156
He paid 9% sales tax on the sale price. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid is
9/100 × 156 = 0.09 × 156 = $14.04
The total amount that he paid for the suit, including tax is
156 + 14.04 = $170 to the nearest dollar
