Markus decides to return 4 shirts costing $19 each to a clothing store. While there, he decides to purchase 2 pairs of shoes at $45 each and a raincoat for $62.75. The clerk charges him 5% tax on the amount due after returns. What amount does he owe the clerk?
You add the price of the raincoat and shoes to get 152.75, you then subtract the price of the 4 shirts you returned to get 76.75. The 5% tax for this is 3.84 so you add the two together and you get $80.59.
