Answer 2

Answer:

$465.66

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are buying 8 uniforms. Therefore, the total price on a normal day would be 8x68 = $544

However, on this day, there is a 20% discount. In other words, we are only paying 80% of the original price as percentages are always out of 100.

The price after the sports discount will be 544x0.8 = $435.2

On top of this, we have to pay a sales tax of 7 percent. The 7 percent is an additional cost to the discounted price of 435.2, hence we add 0.07 (7 percent in decimals) onto 1 (100% in decimals).

This gives us 435.2 x ( 1 + 0.07 )  = 465.664.

Because currency is to 2 decimal points (1 cent), the final answer will be 465.66, or 465 dollars and 66 cents.
