Kristin wants to buy a pair of jeans that cost $45. She gets a 15% discount since she works at the store. She has to pay a 6% sales tax. How much will she pay?

Question

Just need a little help here not rlly good with sales tax and stuff so it would rlly mean a lot for me id anyone would like to help :)

 

Answer 1

Her payment = 45(0.85)(1.06)

 

Multiplying the amount by 0.85 is her discounted price.  Then she multiplies that result by 1.06 for her tax.
