A shirt is on sale at a 20% discount. The sales tax is 5%. A new sales clerk simply
takes 15% off the original price. Is this correct? Why?

Think about it, If you have a sales tax that means more money going in right? So if you want what the discount is you must subtract the sales tax percentage leaving you with 15%

Answer:

CLERK’S WAY:

15% of $100 is $15. $100 - $15 = $85. Customer is charged $85 total.

CORRECT WAY:

20% of $100 is $20. $100 - $20 = $80. 5% of $80 is $4. $80 + $4 = $84. Customer is charged $84 total.
