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

Regular price $54. 25% off → discount = $54 × 0.25 = $13.50, sale price = $54 − $13.50 = $40.50.
Add 6% tax → $40.50 × 1.06 = $42.93.

Answer: C.
