Question

A pair of jeans that normally sells for $35 is in sale for 20%. Find the sale price of the jeans. Then find the total cost of the jeans if the sales tax rate is 6%

Answer 1

35×.2= 7 dollars is being taken away from the sale.

35-7= 28 dollars which is the new cost.

28×.06=1.68
28+1.68=29.68 final cost of jeans

or you can do 28×1.06= 29.68 final cost of jeans.
