Answer:
Cost of ties and pants = $52.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of ties = $19.99
cost of dress pants = $64, discountted by 30%
discount on dress pants = 30% of 64 = 0.3 × 64 = $19.2
∴ Discounted price of dress pants = 64 - 19.2 = $44.8
Total cost of ties and dress pants = 19.99 + 44.8 = $64.79
Now, let us apply the coupon
coupon = $10 off every purchase of $50 or more
Purchase amount = $64.79 ; therefore coupon applies.
Applying coupon
Purchase amount = 64.79 - 10 = $54.79
sale tax = 6% or purchase price
sale tax = 6% × 54.79
sale tax = 0.06 × 54.79 = $3.29
∴ Final cost of ties and dress pants = 54.79 - 3.29 = $52.5
