Mrs. Bryland went shopping at Bealls.

Question

Mrs. Bryand went shopping at Bealls and found a shirt on sale for 30% off. The sale price was not posted but the original price was $32.99. If there is an 8% sales tax on the item, how much can Mrs. Bryand expect to pay at checkout?

Answer 1

If a shirt is 30% off, the sale price is 70% of the original price. If you add 8% sales tax, you have 108% of the sale price.

 

0.7(32.99)(1.08) = $24.94
