Question

Caroline wants to buy a pair of shoes that has an original price of $40.00. She has a coupon for a 30% discount off of the original price. Her state charges an 6% sales tax on the discounted price.What is the final cost for Caroline's shoes?

Answer 1

Answer:
$26.32

step-by-step explanation:
it originally was $40.00
she has a coupon for 30%
30% of 40.00 is 12
40 • 0.30 = 12
40 - 12
$28
it is now $28 after the coupon
her state charges an 6% sales tax on the discounted price
6% of 28 is 1.68
28 • 0.06 = 1.68
28 - 1.68 = 26.32
