What would be the total cost of purchasing the number of shirts needed to use your coupon—after your coupon is applied and a 7.5% sales tax is charged on the purchase?

Respuesta :

a = your total price before the coupon and sales tax.
b = your coupon's given discount (for example, 25% off)
c = your discounted total
(a - (ab)) = c
c + (.075c) = your answer.

With some numbers plugged in:
a = 50$, b = -25%
50 - (50 x .25)
50 - 12.5 = 37.50$
37.5 + (37.5 x .075)
37.5 + 2.82* = 40.32$
So you would have to pay $40.32

The total cost of purchasing the no of shirts is $40.32.

Given that,

  • Here we assume the discount be 25%.
  • Assume the total price before the coupon is $50.
  • And, the sales tax is 7.5%.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

[tex]50 - (50 \times .25)\\\\50 - 12.5 = \$37.50\\\\= 37.5 + (37.5 \times .075)[/tex]

= $37.5 + $2.82

= $40.32

Therefore we can conclude that the total cost of purchasing the no of shirts is $40.32.
