Question

Jane is buying a jacket that regularly costs $54. However, the jacket is on sale for 25% off the regular price. A sales tax of 6% will be added to the final purchase price. How much will Jane pay for the jacket, including tax?

A.
$14.31

B.
$35.00

C.
$42.93

D.
$43.74

Answer 1

54 - 0.25(54) = 54 - 13.50 = 40.50 (sale price).
Tax = 0.06(40.50) = 2.43.
Total = 40.50 + 2.43 = $42.93.

Answer: C.
