Question

A jacket's original price is $65.00. It is on sale for 40% off. You have to pay 5% sales tax. What is the final price of the jacket?

Answer 1

I'll be glad to check your answer.

Answer 2

So the proportion would be $65/40% = x/5% right

Answer 3

I'd do it this way.

0.4 * 65 = 26

65 - 26 = 39 sale price

39 * 1.05 = 40.95 final price with tax

Answer 4

Ok thanks

Answer 5

Ok, but I would like it in proportion so that it would be easier for me to understand.

Answer 6

Ms. Sue I don't get this how in the world did you do that.

Answer 7

40% = 0.4
* = multiply

Answer 8

Ms. Sue there is a mistake, 5% is 0.05, but you put 1.05 there is a typo.
