Question

Nya wants to buy a sweater that had an original price of $55. The sweater is now discounted 20% and the sales tax rate is 5.5%. How much will Nya pay for a sweater

Answer 1

Answer:

$46.42

Step-by-step explanation:

a=price after discount (without sales tax)

a/55=20/100

100a=55·20

100a/100=1,100/100  (the 1,100 is from the 55·20)

You get 11 and then you have to subtract 11 from 55.

55-11=44, so a=44

Then you multiply 44·0.055         (you get 0.055 because you have to make 5.5% a decimal.  You get 2.42.

You add 2.42 and 44 and you get $46.42
