Sam bought an $85.00 jacket for 40% off of the regular price. He also has to pay 5% for tax. How much did he pay for the jacket after the discount and tax?
55.25. You multiply 0.40 by 85 and you’ll get 34, subtract 85 by 34 and you’ll get 51. Then you multiply 0.05 by 85 and get 4.25. Add 4.25 by 51 and you’ll get 55.25.
