Answer:
$310.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Find the amount of 22% discount and subtract from original price, and find the amount of 6% tax and add to discounted price.
Original price: $375
Discount of 22%
22% of $375 = 0.22 × $375 = $82.50
Price after discount (but before tax): $375 - $82.50 = $292.50
Sales tax of 6%
6% of $292.50 = 0.06 × $292.50 = $17.55
Price after discount and tax: $292.50 + $17.55 = $310.05
Method 2: Add and subtract the discount percent and the tax percent first, then multiply.
Original price: $375
The discount is 22%.
The original price is 100%.
Subtract 22% from 100%: 100% - 22% = 78%
The discounted price is 78% of the original price.
Once you have the discounted price, tax is 6%.
The new discounted price is 100%. Add 6% to get 106%.
The price with tax is 106% of the discounted price.
106% of 78% of $375 = 1.06 × 0.78 × $375 = $310.05
