Asked by NapkinNate

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?
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Answered by NapkinNate
So the proportion would be $65/40% = x/5% right
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'd do it this way.

0.4 * 65 = 26

65 - 26 = 39 sale price

39 * 1.05 = 40.95 final price with tax

Ok thanks
Answered by NapkinNate
Ok, but I would like it in proportion so that it would be easier for me to understand.
Answered by NapkinNate
Ms. Sue I don't get this how in the world did you do that.
Answered by Ms. Sue
40% = 0.4
* = multiply
Answered by NapkinNate
Ms. Sue there is a mistake, 5% is 0.05, but you put 1.05 there is a typo.
Answered by NapkinNate
