Question

A Purse cost $75.00 at Macy’s with a 25% discount. What is the sale price with 7% tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $60.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are told that a purse cost $75.00 at Macy’s with a 25% discount. The sale price will be:

= $75 - (25% × $75)

= $75 - (0.25 × $75)

= $75 - $18.75

= $56.25

We will then add the 7% tax and this will be:

= $56.25 + (7% × $56.25)

= $56.25 + (0.07 × $56.25)

= $56.25 + $3.9375

= $60.1875
