Question

A National Hockey League store in the state

of Michigan advertises 50% off all items. Sales

tax in Michigan is 6%. How much would a hat

originally priced at $32.99 and a jersey

originally priced at $64.99 cost during this

sale? Round to the nearest penny

Answer 1

32.99/2 = 16.445

16.445(1.06)= hat cost after 50% off and tax =$17.43

64.99/2= 32.445

32.445(1.06)= jersey cost after 50% off and tax= $34.39
