Question

Tyrell is gearing up for the football season and decides to purchase some items online. He has a promotional code for a one time $10 off any purchase of $50 or more. Tyrell orders 2 new jerseys at $32.89 each and a hat for $23.99. Tyrell pays 7% sales tax on his purchase, but pays no shipping charges. What is the total of Tyrell’s online purchase?
a.
$50.16
b.
$79.77
c.
$85.35
d.
$96.05

Answer 1

First compute the item total:
2 × $32.89 = $65.78; $65.78 + $23.99 = $89.77.

Apply the $10 promo (purchase ≥ $50): $89.77 − $10 = $79.77.

Add 7% sales tax: $79.77 × 0.07 = $5.5839 → $5.58 (to the cent).

Total = $79.77 + $5.58 = $85.35.

Answer: c. $85.35
