Firstly, you should find the discount that is taken off of the jacket, and then also find the sales tax.
As the discount is 10%, you simply have to divide 35 by 10. 35/10= 3.50.
Therefore, you need to subtract the 3.50 from the 35, which gives you 31.50. You've then got the 5% sales tax to add on, which is 3.50/2= 1.75, you've then got to add 1.75 to 31.50, which gives you 33.25.
However, if the sales tax is on the discounted price, then it will be 31.50/10= 3.15/2= 1.58, and you've then got to add this is to discount price, which is 31.50+1.58= 33.08

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75% off.

The expression written by him for this situation is d - 0.75d.

Here, the part d represents the sale price before discount and the part 0.75d is the discount amount.

The expression written by Rena is 0.25d.

Here, the part 0.25d is the price after discount. Since 75% is the discount, the rate after disount is 25% and 25% of d is 0.25d.
