abercrombie & Fitch is having a sale. The sign posted in the store says, "everything is marked down 65%." Scott buys a jacket that was originally cost $150.a) how much does Scott pay for the jacket after the markdown?b) if there is a 5% sales tax charged, what is the total cost of the jacket?

Sagot :

a) We have that the discount is 65 %

Scott buys a jacket for $150

First, we will calculate the discount

[tex]150\times\frac{65}{100}=97.5[/tex]

then we need to subtract the quantity calculated above from the original price

[tex]150-97.5=52.5[/tex]

After the markdown Scott paid $52.5

b.

In order to know the taxes first, we need to calculate the 5% of $52.5

[tex]52.5\times\frac{5}{100}=2.625[/tex]

then we will sum the 5% plus the price after the markdown

[tex]52.5+2.625=55.125[/tex]

The total cost of the jacket is $55.125
