Question

A clearance rack is marked as 35% off the regular price. A shirt on the clearance rack has a regular price of $45.99. If there is 7.25% sales tax, what will the shirt ring up for at the register?
a.
$17.26
b.
$21.67
c.
$29.89
d.
$32.06

Answer 1

Regular price = $45.99. After 35% off the sale price is 45.99 × 0.65 = $29.8935 ≈ $29.89.
Add 7.25% tax: 29.8935 × 1.0725 ≈ $32.0608 → $32.06.

Answer: d. $32.06
