Question

The regular price of a jacket is $200. Today, the jacket is on sale. It is 20% off its regular price. The sales tax is 8%. If Steven buys the jacket today, how much will he pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$172.80

Step-by-step explanation:

200*20%=40

200-40=160

160*0.08=12.8

12.8+160=172.80

Answer 2

Answer:

He pays $176

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find 80% of 200, we can simply multiply 200 by .8.

200 x .8=160

Then, we add sales tax to that number. To find 8% of 200, multiply 200 by .08.

200 x .08=16

Then, add 16 to 160.

160+16= 176

Your answer is $176.

Hope this helps!
