Sagot :

First we need to find the discount

48 * 55%

48 *.55

26.40

Subtract this from the price of the jacket

48-26.40

21.60

The sale price is 21.60

Now we need to find the sales tax

21.60 * 6%

21.60 * .06

1.296

Rounding to the nearest cent

1.30

Add the sales tax to the price of the jacket

21.60 +1.30

22.90

Santa will have to pay 22.90 for the jacket.
