The Williams family goes shopping, and spend $95.00. They have a coupon for 20% off and the sales tax is 8%. What is the total cost of the shopping trip?
Step 1
We find the price after the discount
The Williams family goes shopping, and spend $95.00. They have a coupon for 20% off
Hence:
20% × $95
= $19
Therefore: $95 - $19
= $76
Step 2
We find the amount of sales tax
The sales tax is 8%
Hence:
8% of $76
= $6.08
Our sales tax = $6.08
Step 3
The total cost of the shopping trip is calculated as:
