Question

Bryan bought pants that were on clearance for 30% off the
original price. He paid the cashier a total of $40.80 after sales
tax. If sales tax is 6%, what was the original price of the pants?

Answer 1

Answer:

$53.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax is not affected by store discounts.

0.7x + 0.06x = 40.80

0.76x = 40.80

x = 40.80/0.76

x = 53.68...

therefore original price was $53.68
