Answer 1

Answer:

A : $67.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sales tax = 4%

She just bought a swimsuit whose full price was $80,

She presented the retailer with a coupon for $15,

Question asked:

What was the total amount that Elaine paid?

Cost price of  swimsuit = $80,

She presented the retailer with a coupon for = $15,

Remaining price = 80 - 15 = 65

Now, sale tax imposed = 4% of 65

                                      = $\frac{4}{100} \times65 = \frac{ 260}{100} = 2.6$

Sale price = Remaining price after deducting coupon + sale tax

                 =  65 + 2.60 = 67.60

Thus , $67.60 Elaine paid to the retailer.
