She paid a total of $9.50 for the purchase of beads.
Given:
Original Price = $9.95
Discount Rate = 10%
Sales tax = 6%
Compute for the discount to get the discounted price.
9.95 * 10/100 = 0.995 discount
9.95 - 0.995 = 8.955 or rounded up to 8.96 discounted price
Sales tax is applied to the discounted price
8.96 * 6/100 = 0.5376 rounded up to 0.54 sales tax
She paid $8.96 for the beads and $0.54 for the sales tax to a total of $9.50
