Question

James bought Nicole a pair of shoes for 54.99 and a bracelet for 21.99 and he used a 15% off coupon and then he paid 7.5 sale tax what was the total amount spent

Answer 1

Hello!

54.99 + 21.99 = 76.98

76.98 × 15% = 11.547

76.98 - 11.547 = 65.433

7.5% = 4.88 (About)

65.433 + 4.88 = 70.313

So, the total amount spent was about $70.313.

I hope this helped you! :)

Answer 2

54.99 + 21.99 = 76.98
Sales tax is 7.5% = $5.77
$76.98 + $5.77 = $82.75
$82.75 with 15% off
$82.75 x .15 = $12.41
$82.75 - $12.41 = $70.33
